Heat the oven to 350°F. Put the baguette chunks on a large baking sheet, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the shallot in a small bowl and add enough water to cover. Let the shallot sit for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Put the remaining ¼ cup oil, the vinegar, the garlic, and the mustard in a small bowl, glass measuring cup, or mug; season with salt and pepper. Process with an immersion blender until the garlic is minced and the mixture is thick and smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Combine the bread, shallot, vinaigrette, tomatoes, and basil in a large salad bowl; toss to combine. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.
