    Method: 

    Prepare a grill, indoors or outdoors. Grill bread on both sides until toasted. You may have to do this in two or more batches. (You can use a toaster instead if desired.) Stir together olive oil, garlic and salt in a small bowl. When bread is toasted, lightly brush olive oil and garlic mixture on one side of each piece of grilled bread. Spread with any of your choice of toppings.
