Cut six medium Roma tomatoes (about 700 g) into cubes, removing the seeds, and drain any excess liquid.
Tear one-third of a cup of fresh basil leaves, stack them, roll into a tight bundle, and slice into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Add the basil to the tomatoes.
Finely chop about five garlic cloves to taste.
Set aside one chopped garlic clove and mix it in a small bowl with three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for later.
Add the remaining garlic to the tomato mixture.
Stir in two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, half a teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper into the tomato mixture. Mix well.
Let the tomato mixture marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (about 400 °F) and position the rack in the middle.
Slice the baguette into half-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices, preferably on a diagonal for better presentation.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
