Grill or broil the bread on each side by setting the slices 4 to 15 cm from the heat source.

Rub each slice with a crushed garlic clove, letting it release its pungence & fragrant juices into the bread. Drizzle with the olive oil & sprinkle with the salt. Serve warm if you wish.

VARIATION: Bruschetta delle Marche. Sprinkle bits of fresh marjoram & grind fresh black pepper over the garlic bread.
