- Preheat the oven to moderately hot 190°C (375°F/Gas 5). Spread the bread cubes on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
- Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Tear the lettuce leaves into pieces and put in a serving bowl with the bread cubes, bacon and parmesan.
- To make the dressing, process the anchovies, egg, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
