Nutritional values
The name 'croutons' is derived from the Latin 'crusta' or 'crustum', meaning 'the crust' or 'fine pastry with a crust', and it is in this form that the small cubes of bread first appear in French as a description of small pieces of bread crust served with drinks.
If you would like to prepare a larger quantity at once, you can switch to the oven. To do this, spread the appropriate amount of oil on the baking tray, place the bread cubes on top and mix the ingredients. Then roast the croutons at 150 degrees (circulating air: 130 degrees; gas: level 1-2) for about 15 minutes.

Preparation steps
Remove the crust from the bread. Cut into strips, diamonds, or cubes. Peel and thinly slice the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the bread and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, until golden brown. Stir the croutons occasionally. In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, add the garlic and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, and remove from the pan. Drain on paper towels and let cool.
