Bread and Seasoning

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the seasoning oil

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Prep the bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise.

  3. 3

    Apply the seasoning

    Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.

  4. 4

    Bake the bread

    Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Serve warm

    Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then cut into pieces if desired. Serve warm with any remaining seasoned olive oil for dipping.
