Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and toss the bread cubes with one tablespoon of the olive oil.
Spread the bread cubes on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes until golden and crisp, then set aside to cool.
Using pasteurised egg yolks, whisk them with the crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and chopped anchovy fillets until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is thick and glossy.
Stir half the grated Parmesan into the dressing and season with black pepper.
Tear the romaine leaves into a large bowl, pour over the dressing and toss to coat evenly.
Scatter over the croutons and remaining Parmesan, then serve immediately.
