Bread Dipping Oil Recipe: A Flavorful 5-Minute Italian Olive Oil Dip for Bread by Ann Marie Patitucci

Bread just may be my favorite food (my favorite food group is, without a doubt, carbs!). I am happy to eat bread with butter or even plain, but my favorite is bread with dipping oil.
My husband and I have enjoyed it at restaurants but haven’t found a store-bought kind we like nearly as much, so we decided to make our own! This easy bread dipping oil recipe is so easy to make and uses everyday pantry items.
The oil is made with extra virgin olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, minced fresh garlic, dried basil and dried oregano. You could add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat or even a few grinds of fresh cracked black pepper.
Not only is this easy Italian bread dip recipe good for serving with dinner (especially pasta!), but could also be put out as a party food at your family get-togethers. Put a bowl of the dip on a platter with a loaf of fresh bread, bread cubes or crostini, and watch what happens.
