There are many ways to make garlic bread and I certainly make it different ways. But this way is by far my favorite. In Italy, to celebrate the first olive oil of the season, they make this simple
fettunta - or "greased slice". It's simply grilled bread, rubbed with a garlic clove, drizzled with the best olive oil you have, and then sprinkled with coarse sea salt. You won't believe how great it is. There is a very unique taste you get if you use a raw garlic clove on a slice of fresh bread. If you want, you can add a topping to make
bruschetta, but this is my favorite way to make garlic bread to accompany dinner. Many times I buy a whole grain or multi grain loaf to make this with and it's delicious. As always, with simple recipes with few ingredients you need to use the best ingredients you can - a good, fruity extra virgin olive oil and some
outstanding sea salt.*
