Steps

---

Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.

---

Cut into 1 / 2 inch cubes.

---

Keep aside.

---

Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan on moderately low flame.

---

While the oil is heating , crush the clove of garlic and rosemary , separately , using your mortar and pestle.

---

You can also crumble the rosemary between the palms of your hands if you like.

---

I personally like to crush it to bring out the flavour to the fullest.

---

Now , add the crushed garlic to the moderately hot oil and cook for a minute , stirring continuously until it is golden.

---

Remove the garlic.

---

Toss in the bread cubes and crushed / crumbled rosemary.

---

Cook these awesome croutons , tossing lightly , until they are lightly browned all over.

---

Sprinkle with salt to taste.

---

Remove from the skillet or pan and transfer onto paper towels to drain.

---

Serve over soup.
