Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet in a single layer; dry in oven approximately 10 minutes.
Using a mortar and pestle, mash the capers, garlic and anchovies until you have a smooth paste. Place in a large bowl. Whisk the olive oil and balsamic vinegar into the anchovy paste until combined. Add the toasted bread cubes and toss thoroughly. Add tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, red peppers, yellow peppers, olives, basil, coarse salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients gently to coat; let stand for at least a half-hour
Panzanella can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for several hours. Remove from refrigerator an hour or so before serving and bring to room temperature. Before serving, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
