Tomato Bruschetta
Serves 4
Time 20 min
From the Italian "bruscare", meaning "to roast over coals," this garlic bread was traditionally made by rubbing fresh garlic over peasant bread and drizzling it with fruity extra-virgin olive oil. The bread was then baked in a brick wood-fired oven until crisp and golden brown. Here's an updated version you can make at home.
