Ingredients
- Stale bread
- Garlic
- Sea salt
- Oil
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas mark 4).
Step 2
Heat in a frying pan over 3 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, for a few seconds making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
Step 3
Throw in 1–2 cups (50–100 g) bread chunks and a good sprinkling of sea salt, then stir well to coat the bread in the garlicky salty oil.
Step 4
Once the bread is starting to crisp, transfer to a baking tray and bake for 3–5 minutes, until crisp but not hard. Allow to cool completely before storing.
