How to Make Bread With Olive Oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange 4-6 slices of your favorite bread (about 1 inch thick) on a baking sheet.
  3. Toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  4. While the bread is toasting, halve 1 medium tomato and 1 clove of garlic.
  5. Remove the bread from the oven. Immediately rub one side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove, if desired.
  6. Next, rub the same side of each slice with the cut side of the tomato half, gently pressing to release some juice and pulp onto the bread.
  7. Drizzle each slice generously with 1-2 teaspoons of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  8. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
  9. Serve immediately while the bread is warm and crispy. Optional: Top with anchovies or crumbled cheese.
