This bread dipping oil is going to change your life! It's the best appetizer to make in only 10 minutes and will impress everyone. Serve alongside fresh focaccia or crusty bread to make the best combination.
Bread dipping oil is having its moment across social media and I'm totally here for it! Every time I’ve been seeing bread oil, I’m always left drooling so I had to share my take on it.
We’ve all been to those Italian restaurants where they serve you fresh bread alongside an olive oil bread dip right? The bread oil becomes the star of the night and you can't stop eating it!
Well, the good news is that it's so easy to make at home and it's also super customizable too. Here I've used a mix of fresh and dried herbs, olives and of course a good amount of extra-virgin olive oil. I’ve kept it as a vegan recipe, but feel free to add freshly grated parmesan cheese too.
Take it to the next level and serve it with homemade Focaccia and a Limoncello Spritz to make you feel like you’re all the way in Italy!
Share plates are always so fun to serve when entertaining. Trust me when I say, this Bread Dipping Oil will be your new go-to dish that will make all your friends and family want the recipe 🙂
Table of Contents
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Extra virgin olive oil is of course the star, I mean you cant have an olive oil bread dip without olive oil right! Because of this, use a good quality oil for the best flavor
- Balsamic vinegar is added for a touch of acidity and sweetness. If you don't like the taste, add a squeeze of lemon juice instead
- Olives, I’ve used a mix of green olives and kalamata olives for different colours and flavors. Make sure to buy them pitted which will save you prep time
- Fresh garlic cloves are grated or minced and won't give the same taste as garlic powder for this recipe. You wont need much unless you love it garlicky
- Red pepper flakes or chili flakes are added for a kick! I only like to add a pinch, but if you like it spicy feel free to add more. If you aren't a fan of chilli, add some freshly cracked black pepper instead
- Salt, I recommend adding flaky sea salt as regular salt granules will drop to the bottom of the oil
- Bread….I mean you can't have an olive oil dip for bread, without a loaf of bread. For me, the best bread to serve it with is Italian bread such as focaccia to keep the Italian theme or make a mini version or these cute focaccia muffins. You can of course use other bread such as a french baguette, ciabatta, sourdough bread or even crunchy crostini would be amazing!
Herbs
- Dried oregano is the only dried herb I use as it's stronger in flavor. You can also use italian seasoning
- Fresh rosemary is my preference but you can use dried too. Thyme is also a great substitute
- Parsley is one of the herbs I always suggest using fresh. It brings a lovely freshness and pop of colour to the bread oil
- Basil has the yummiest smell and flavor when it's fresh! I always prefer fresh than dried basil for this oil recipe. It can be a little overpowering though, so I only like to add a few leaves
How to make Bread Dipping Oil
This has to be one of the best appetizer recipes to make and it's all put together in these easy steps below.
- In a bowl add olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- Add finely chopped herbs and olives to the bowl. TIP, if you are not planning to serve straight away, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and add to the bowl right before serving so it's enjoyed fresh
- Grate in a garlic clove, add oregano, chili flakes (red pepper flakes) and salt. Stir until well combined. You can also add more olive oil as you prefer as after a while the olives will absorb the olive oil
- All there is left to do is serve with some fresh bread. Nothing beats some homemade focaccia to soak up all that flavour!
Tips and Tricks
- Ensure fresh herbs and olives are diced into tiny pieces. This way, you'll be able to have a taste of all the different flavors with every bite! Also if they’re in large chunks, it will be harder to use as a dipping oil
- Add the herbs and ingredients to the olive oil when its ready to be served. Its best to eat it when its nice and fresh and also at room temperature
- Add more olive oil if you need to as once its been sitting out for a while, you’ll notice the olives will start to absorb the oil. To be honest, it wont even last that long though, haha
- Make a little extra and use it as a salad dressing! Yep I'm not kidding, its so good with a crunchy salad and vegetables with a little extra vinegar or lemon juice
FAQs
Its best to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil that's rich and bold in flavor. It's the main ingredient in a bread oil so it makes a huge difference
As I’ve used fresh herbs and garlic in my olive oil bread dip, it's best to be eaten when its fresh. The herbs will lose their vibrant colour and flavor and the garlic can spoil. To make it last longer, use dried herbs and use garlic powder instead as they have a longer shelf life
Yes you can! Don’t mix the ingredients into the oil until its ready to be served for the best results

Julio says
I’m launching myself to the stars tonight at my NYE party with this recipe. Hope everyone loves it as much a I do
Ayeh Manfre says
Enjoy and HNY!!
SHARLA says
Yummmm! I moved to Portugal from the U.S. last year and fell in love with the local olives and olive oil.
I made this dip pretty much following the recipe, but tripled it to use the remainder for salad dressing tomorrow. I am a lazy chopper so added everything except for the olives to a ninja blender cup and buzzed it quickly. Hand chopped the olives and added all to a glass jar. Dinner is in 2 hours, but it tastes awesome on my pointer AND pinky finger. Can't wait to try it on fresh Italian bread served with lasgna soup in 2 hours watching the clock!
Ayeh Manfre says
So lovely to hear this! Sounds amazing 🙂
Sherry says
Love the recipe, but how do you determine how much of the ingredients you need for a party of 25, or a party of 50?
Ayeh Manfre says
I guess it will depend on what else is being served as appetizers, but I'd start by doubling or tripling and going from there 🙂
Alyssa Mae says
This is the single best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. My 2023 is inspired by your website! 10000000000000000/10

This bread oil was so fast to prepare (absolute last minute running out the door) and it was the biggest hit at our team lunch. Taking a basic bread oil and levelling it up with the most simplest of ingredients. I cannot wait to try the other combos and that focaccia mmmmmm yum!

Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yummy I need to try it with Barbari 🙂
Andrea says
This oil is incredible! I served it with fresh homemade sourdough that was still warm from the oven and it was amazing. Next time will try with focaccia. I added parmesan and it was perfect but I can imagine it would be delicious without it too. This will be my go-to starter for whenever I have friends over for dinner now, and I am going to use it as a salad dressing as well as it has so much fresh flavour. Thank you Ayeh for another amazing recipe! ❤️
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh wow sounds amazing! You are so welcome xx
Jess says

*Be warned this recipe will have you being invited to parties and family BBQ, just so you can bring dipping oil and fresh bread for guests to enjoy*
Paired with fresh bread, or if you have the time to make focaccia (which is superb) this dipping oil is a crowd pleaser. The fresh herbs, and sour pops of olives make it and entree to serve. Believe me, people will be asking for the recipe after - it’s just that good and simple!
Ayeh Manfre says
Haha love this warning 🙂
Elyce says
This oil was obsessed over by 2 sides of my family at 2 different Christmas events!! I substituted the olives for sundried tomatos, artichokes and some capers like Ayeh recommended and it was incredible!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yummy I love that variation too!
Rachael says
this looks SO GOOD!! i just made your no knead focaccia and my home smells DIVINE. i was curious if i used dried herbs instead of fresh, would it be the same measurements? i know a lot of recipes that say to use less if doing dried instead of fresh and just want to double check! 🙂
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay this is the best combo for the focaccia! Dried herbs are a little stronger so I would start with less and give it a little taste test x
Cristina says
So easy and soooo delicious we had this with your yummy focaccia
Ayeh Manfre says
Yummy the best combo!
Prateek says

I just made this Bread Dipping Oil and it’s incredible! It only took a few mins, but the flavors kept me coming back for more. I ate this with naan bread. Can’t wait to make the focaccia to go along with it next time. This would also make a fantastic topping for any protein as well. Thanks Ayeh Xx

Loved this amazing dipping oil with your focaccia! Heaven X
Ayeh Manfre says
The perfect duo 🙂
Courtney says
Warning: this dipping oil is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! We made this on Christmas Eve, along with the Focaccia, and it was amazing. Since my kids are olive-averse, we made dipping oil version 2 by replacing the olives with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and capers. Later, I made grilled cheese sandwiches with this dipping oil spread on the outside or the bread and I was a hero for yet another quick and easy meal.
Ayeh Manfre says
Haha love the warning! So happy you tried both versions and loved them both xxx
Muriel says
I made this recipe for my family and they loved it. It’s sooo tasty and delicious. Thank you for sharing it.

Ayeh Manfre says
Oh would have been so good with challah yum!!!

Valerie says
How far in advance could I prepare this? I would like to bring it to a party with the focaccia
Ayeh Manfre says
Its best of eaten the same day so the herbs are fresh and green 🙂 Hope you enjoy the combination xx
Michelle says
Wowza! This dipping sauce is addictively delicious! I would like to put it in a gift basket with home made sourdough. How long will this sauce keep?
Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay! So glad you love it so much 🙂 If wishing for a longer shelf life for gifts, I'd recommend using dried herbs and garlic powder and it will keep for weeks xx
james Arnel turner says
You mentioned chili in your directions I don't see it in the ingredient list
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi James, the chili flakes are the red pepper flakes, sorry for any confusion
Velma says
May I make up the dipping oil a day or 2 in advance? Would it be okay to keep it in a closed glass jar on the counter for that amount of time?
Ayeh Manfre says
If using fresh herbs and garlic, its best eaten fresh. But if you use dried herbs and spices, it will be fine 🙂
Marian says
I’m just learning to bake homemade sour dough and this olive oil dip looks SO good!!!
