Over a wood-fired grill, in a broiler, or in a toaster, toast the slices of bread until a deep golden color forms on one side and repeat for the other side.
While the bread is still warm, drizzle a generous amount of oil, roughly one tablespoon, on the bread. With the garlic clove, firmly press down and rub the bread to spread the oil on one side of the bread. This action of rubbing the garlic should grate some of the clove into the bread.
