Our Favorite Homemade Dipping Oil : A Simple Recipe
I have to share with you, our favorite Dipping Oil Recipe, and it is so simple! So, if you’re a bread lover, like me, then you know that the right dipping oil can level up your bread, and make all the difference. While store-bought oils can be tasty (but most of them have a vinegar component to them, and that is not the subtle flavor I am looking for.) So, we all know, nothing beats the flavor of a homemade dipping oil. Not only is it easy to make, but you can also customize it to your taste preferences.
In this post, I will share with you, my family’s favorite recipe for homemade dipping oil. And, when you make ahead that delicious Olive Oil gets infused with flavor. So, with just a few ingredients, you’ll be able to whip up a delicious dipping oil that will take your bread game to the next level.
What Bread Should I Pair With My Dipping Oil?
My favorite bread to pair with homemade dipping oil would have to be either my Italian Bread Loaf or my Sourdough bread. It really depends on my mood, and what I am serving with it. And, another factor for me to consider when making this for a meal is time. My Italian Bread I can have ready to go in about 4 hours, whereas, my sourdough, I have to plan ahead, and start a day or two before. So, since I am not a great planner, this usually means we are having it with my homemade Italian Bread from scratch with freshly milled flour. HERE is that recipe if you are wondering how you can make it too!
Can I Pair Sourdough With This Dipping Oil?
Of course you could use sourdough with this dipping oil recipe. As I mentioned before, my two favorite breads to pair with Homemade seasoned olive oil Dipping oil are Italian bread and sourdough bread. HERE is a link to my sourdough bread made with 100% fresh milled flour.
Ingredients For Making This Recipe
You could use Fresh Rosemary, Parsley, and Basil, or even a combination of fresh and dried. I just use what I have on hand.
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or more, this is all to your taste)
- 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp Rosemary
- 1 tsp Parsley
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Pinch Red Pepper Flake, to taste
- Pinch of salt, to taste
Instructions How To Make This Recipe
- In a small bowl, pour in Olive Oil. I like to use an extra light extra virgin Olive Oil, but use whatever your favorite Olive Oil is.
- Add in the fresh cracked black pepper, Rosemary, Parsley, Basil, Garlic Powder, Red Pepper Flakes, and Salt.
- Mix well to combine, cover.
- Let the oil sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to infuse together.
That’s it! This recipe makes enough for about 4 servings, so adjust the amounts accordingly if you need to make more.
Can I Customize This Simple Dipping Oil Recipe?
Yes! You can customize this recipe, that’s the beauty of it! You can customize it to your liking. So, say you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, then just add more garlic powder. Or, if you want a spicier oil, add some more red pepper flakes. I think you get the idea. The possibilities are endless!
What Else Can I Do With Dipping Oil?
When it comes to using this dipping oil, the options are also endless. It’s, of course, perfect for dipping breads, but you can also drizzle it over salads as a simple dressing. Another great way to use it is to drizzle it on roasted vegetables, or meats for added flavor.
In conclusion, making your own homemade dipping oil is not only easy, but it also allows you to experiment with different flavors and create something that perfectly suits your taste preferences. Give this recipe a try and see how it elevates your bread game, then alter it so it suits your preferences!
