About this deal
The tradition of dipping bread in olive oil can be traced back to ancient Mediterranean cultures and was common practice in countries like Italy and Greece. Crafted with a flavorful blend of rich olive oil, aromatic garlic, dried herbs, and a splash of balsamic vinegar, this easy recipe is a bread lover’s dream!
Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.I’d recommend looking for a specific recipe that is designed to be kept longer – perhaps an infused oil of sorts that is heat treated.
I substituted the olives for sundried tomatos, artichokes and some capers like Ayeh recommended and it was incredible! all I can say, is thank goodness I only had 3 pieces of crostini bread, or I definitely would have kept dipping.

This delicious starter comes together in about 5 minutes – they don’t come much quicker or easier than that. If you do this, you don't need to refrigerate the mixture and it will keep for up to 6 months in your pantry.As I’ve used fresh herbs and garlic in my olive oil bread dip, it's best to be eaten when its fresh. To make the dipping oil, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried herbs, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Someone asked me to develop a recipe for this, quite some time ago now…and I did…and then I sat on the floor of my studio after I photographed it and ate bite after bite…after bite. g Fat: 27 g (42%) Saturated Fat: 4 g (25%) Polyunsaturated Fat: 3 g Monounsaturated Fat: 20 g Sodium: 4 mg Potassium: 20 mg (1%) Fiber: 0.
