This Italian dipping oil for bread is a fantastic way to highlight a crusty loaf of homemade bread, as well as storebought Italian bread!
Bread Dipping Oil
Sometimes the simplest dishes can be the most delicious, as is the case with this bread dipping oil recipe. Pair it with some fresh, crusty homemade bread, and dish it up alongside your favorite Italian pasta.
Here I've served it with a loaf of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day (more on this soon!), but it would also pair perfectly with the bread machine sourdough bread recipe I shared last week. And of course, it's also a delicious dipping oil recipe for Italian bread that you've picked up at the grocery store!

Personally i use crushed garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Delicious.
Vivi says
I just found your blog and i love your recipes, but i was wondering why all of your recipes dont have the "save this" feature. That feature makes saving and finding them again so much easier!
Tara @ Unsophisticook says
Welcome, Vivi! I love the "save this" feature, and it's one that I recently added about a month ago. I've been meaning to post to draw attention to it, but as you've noticed, I've not found the time to go back and convert some of my older recipes to it.
That said, I quickly converted this one for you and hope to get started on the rest this week. :)

Sherry Conrad says
I just wanted to say that all evoo is not created equal and you will find some are not as good as others for eating without cooking- make sure you use one you would use in a salad dressing.
Dianne says
I know its got to be delicious, because it is in the restaurants. And Homemade is always better.
Heather says
