Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large, deep saute pan or dutch oven on medium heat until warmed. Add 3 smashed garlic cloves and half of the anchovies cooking 1 minute, stiring often. Add bread cubes and cook approximately 10 minutes or until browned crisp on all sides stirring occasionally. Remove bread, garlic and anchovies with a slotted spoon to a paper lined sheet tray. Discard garlic as it will taste bitter, or eat promptly if you're like me. Wipe saute pan clean of any oil or browned bits.
