• Olive oil and bread.

The town I live in is very "foody" as described my cousin, I found a really nice gourmet olive oil/balsamic vinegar shop that had some really exotic and very good stuff, bought a really nice bottle of olive oil and got some stuff to make a loaf of french bread. I usually just put fresh cracked pepper into my olive oils but there are some interesting things here that I'll have to try when I finally get around to making some bread.
Rosemary garlic bread and olive oil with cheese, pepper and paprika is equivalent to the age old bread and butter.
I always love a bit of baguette and olive oil with an Italian dinner. Always good.

Seriously, bread and olive oil is a great combination and a great snack food if you have people over, or if you're just in a snacking mood.
I spread the olive oil on the bread and toast it in the oven. It's good as is, and it's great for sandwiches, especially pastrami.
I'm eating a piece of bread right now with a little bit of thyme and rosemary on it, and some cheap and fairly nasty supermarket olive oil, and it's godly. I'm thinking about going to the store tomorrow and getting a bottle of GOOD olive oil, a loaf of good bread, and trying this with better ingredients. Also, i have a little question, would saffron be a good thing to add as a spice to this? i found a little bottle of it that's nearly empty on the spice rack, just wanna make sure if it's for cooking only or if it can be eaten on something.
Tried this stuff few days ago. My new favourite kind of bread.
I remember when I was younger, we would go to my grandparents place and they would have really crusty ciabatta bread and we would dip the bread into the herbed oil that was used to cook our meal. My Grandmother called it 'Dippa dip'
This is quite interesting.. love my Italian food but when it came to bread, only really gone for the usual Italian bread, no olive oil. I'll have to try it.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;30478240]Portuguese Peta breads.[/QUOTE] the fuck is that
Make Ciabatta. Fresh, warm Ciabatta and the aforementioned olive oil has no alternative. It generally takes a bit of time to rise, but actual preparation and cooking time is pretty small considering the tastiness of it.
