You can use as much or as little as you like, but bear in mind this is a garlic sauce.You will need to beat the garlic cloves to a pulp using a pestle and mortar. At this stage you can either carry on beating by hand or transfer the garlic to a food processor. Add the bread and work it in with the garlic to a cream. Then add the oil and vinegar, a little bit at a time, until it is all mixed in. If it becomes too thick you can dilute it with a bit of water.
