Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 loaf (12 ounces) pumpernickel bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt. Brush both sides of bread slices with garlic mixture. Transfer to a baking sheet. Toast bread in oven until crisp, turning once, 12 to 15 minutes.
