Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Cut bread into 1–2 cm cubes (rustic is good).

In a bowl, toss bread with olive oil, garlic, salt, and herbs/spices if using.

Spread on a baking tray in a single layer.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Cool fully before storing in an airtight container.
