Preparation — preview

1. Place bread cubes in large bowl. Sprinkle with water and salt. Toss, squeezing gently so bread absorbs water. Next toss the bread cubes with oil. Place bread cubes on sheet tray and bake in oven for 10 15 minutes, giving them a stir once or twice while baking. Once crisp remove from oven and sprinkle and toss with Parmesan cheese.
2. Whisk garlic paste and 2 tablespoons lemon juice together in large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
