I buy a loaf of French multigrain bread from King Soopers and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. (You can use any not-too-dense bread, including bread you made yourself.) Heat the oven to 400 degrees and spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. Blend 3/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp. salt, several generous grinds of pepper, and garlic as desired--I usually use a couple of cloves, put through a garlic press, or 1/4 tsp. granulated garlic. Drizzle this mixture over the bread cubes and stir or flip around with a spatula and bake for 10 minutes, stir around with a spatula, bake for another 5 minutes, and then see how dark they are. They should be golden brown and crisp. Let cool and then store in a plastic bag in the freezer. Take out as needed.
