I have been making this bread and olive oil dip for years and it is always a hit. My kids love dipping warm crusty bread into the rich peppery olive oil mixed with herbs and garlic. It is such a simple recipe but it feels special every time. I love that it uses basic pantry ingredients and comes together in minutes. The olive oil is full of healthy fats and antioxidants which is a nice bonus. Whether it is a weeknight dinner or a holiday gathering this dip is always on our table. It pairs perfectly with a fresh loaf of bread and some good conversation.
