Remove the crust from the bread, then cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) cubes. Finely dice the bacon, and then cook 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Toast the cubes of bread in the bacon fat until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain.
Rinse and trim the romaine thoroughly. Dry well and tear the leaves into small pieces.
Peel the garlic, and add to a blender with the remaining oil, lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, and the egg yolks. Puree until creamy. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. If necessary, thin with a little water or cream.
Mix the lettuce with the dressing, then divide into bowls. Top with the croutons and bacon. Garnish with the parmesan, and serve.
