For an extra layer of flavor, toast the bread cubes in the oven instead of a skillet. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), toss the bread cubes with the garlic-infused oil, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference. Some prefer a more tangy dressing, while others prefer a milder flavor. For a vegetarian option, omit the anchovies or substitute with a pinch of seaweed flakes for a similar umami flavor. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The croutons are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
