Yield makes a little over 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound stale bread, sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed with a knife
Kosher salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted and dry, 10 to 12 minutes. While the bread toasts, place the olive oil and garlic in a sauté pan and set over low heat. Cook gently, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil.
When the bread slices are toasted, place in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the crumbs to the garlic oil and stir gently until coated. Season to taste with salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the oil is absorbed. Remove the garlic cloves. The crumbs will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks.
