ITALIAN OLIVE OIL DIP
A simple recipe for making an herbed olive oil dip for Italian bread. Serve in a shallow bowl, and let your guests help themselves. Apparently many Italian restaurants in North America and abroad are now serving a flavored olive oil sauce to dip bread into as an appetizer. You can easily vary the recipe to suit your taste, by changing the herbs. Do not keep this mixture for longer than 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator, as fresh garlic has caused problems, making the mixture unsafe.

2-SECOND ITALIAN BREAD OLIVE OIL DIP
Know how at some Italian restaurants they give you the option of both butter and a dish with herbed olive when they bring out the bread? I found that I actually prefer the olive oil dip to butter in terms of both taste and ease to use; I don't have to wait for olive oil to melt! Plus, olive oil is monounsaturated fat that's better for you while butter is saturated fat that isn't. I use Recipe #391627, feel free to use another mix or storebought seasoning-- tastes just like the kind in restaurants to enjoy with focaccia or crusty Italian bread.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread and dip will be. Look for fresh herbs, good-quality olive oil, and flavorful cheese.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and give it a light and airy texture.
- Preheat the oven before baking the bread: This will help the bread to cook evenly.
- Brush the bread with olive oil before baking: This will give the bread a golden brown crust.
- Serve the bread warm with the olive oil dip: This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the bread and dip.
Conclusion:
This Italian flatbread and olive oil dip recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. The bread is light and airy, with a crispy crust and a flavorful crumb. The olive oil dip is rich and flavorful, with a hint of garlic and herbs. This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
