Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
  • 5 T olive oil, separated
  • 1 1/2 c 1/2" bread cubes
  • 1 1/2 t anchovy paste

Whisk together half of garlic paste, 2 T oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Add bread cubes and toss well. Bake cubes on baking sheet at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
