Canuck Bread Dipper Seasoning

How to Use

The key in choosing a great olive oil and making sure that it is fresh. When olive oil is fresh, it has a peppery, slightly grassy flavor and fruity aroma.

When choosing your olive oil, look for “cold pressed” words on the label.

The best bread for dipping is a matter of preference. For choosing a dipping bread, look for something hearty enough to tear and soak up the olive oil and spices. Our top choice is crusty ciabatta bread.

Other types of bread that you can certainly consider – Focaccia, French bread, Italian bread, or Olive bread. And if you want to go a bit adventurous, you could go with flatbread, naan or pita. There are no wrong choices here.

We like to let our bread sit in the oil for a minute to absorb more of this spectacular flavor.

To make a classic bread seasoning dip, mix three tablespoons of Tuscany Bread Dipping Seasoning with 1/2 cup of your favorite olive oil. You can, of course, easily adjust this with more or less seasoning to suit your family’s tastes. For best results, mix it with oil and let the flavors marry for 20-30 minutes before serving.

We’ve also used this seasoning for a zesty vinegar and oil dressing for salads by simply adding three tablespoons of Tuscany Bread Dipping Seasoning with 2/3 cups olive oil and 1/3 cup red wine vinegar (we think that balsamic is a bit too overpowering to the seasoning blend in this particular case). This dressing can also be used as a quick, light marinade for chicken, fish, or pork.
