1. 1Step 1: Split the tomatoes in half horizontally. Place a box grater into a large bowl. Rub the cut faces of the tomatoes over the large holes of the box grater, using the flattened palm of your hand to move the tomatoes back and forth. The flesh should be grated off, while the skin remains intact in your hand. Discard the skin and season the tomato pulp with kosher salt to taste.
2. 2Step 2: Adjust the oven rack to 4 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Place the bread, cut side up, on a cutting board and brush with some of the olive oil. Season with kosher salt. Place the bread, oiled side up, on a rack set in a tray or directly on the broiler rack and broil until crisp and starting to char around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven and rub with the split garlic cloves.
3. 3Step 3: Spoon the tomato mixture over the bread. Drizzle with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil and season with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
