My mom makes this bread alot..and it gets devoured before dinner is even served. She will usually make it using a long loaf of bakery quality (Calandra's, Anthony & Sons, etc.) French bread. Now, we don't have a big cement oven or homemade olive oil, but I do have some of my grandmother's oregano! I enjoy making this from time to time - goes perfect with Pasta & Soup!
- Loaf of bakery quality French bread (can also use individual slices of panella bread)
- Oregano
- Salt
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Place bread in pre-heated oven
- Remove bread once the bread gets nice and toasted - about 5-7 minutes
- While bread is still hot, slice the bread down the middle (I usually place a dishtowel over the bread as I slice)
- Drizzle Olive Oil on both sides of the bread
- Sprinkle with Salt and Oregano (I prefer mine extra salty!)
- Bring pieces of bread together and press down
- Cut into smaller serving pieces
- Enjoy!
If you make this using sliced panella bread, you can just put the bread in your toaster, toast and season
Mmmmmmm...my mom makes her own bread & makes this as well. It's SOOO good!
