What sort of bread should you use to make bruschetta?

Answer 1

ciabatta

Answer 2

Basic Bruschetta:

The uncut garlic doesn't impart much flavor, but it does keep her from having to use a messy brush. Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes. Notes: Choose a good-quality bread without too many large holes that would let the topping drip through. McIlvaine uses sliced hominy bread, but we found that a bâtard or pane pugliese also worked well.

This recipe goes with Eggplant with Mint Bruschetta, Braised Pepper Bruschetta, Tomato and Basil Bruschetta, Mixed Herb Bruschetta, Chickpea and Octopus Bruschetta

8 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices good-quality bread (see notes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, halved
Sea salt

1. Heat charcoal or gas grill to hot (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above grill only 2 to 3 seconds), or set a rack 4 inches from a broiler on high. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil. Toast, turning as necessary, until both sides are crisp and browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Remove bread from the grill or oven and rub each slice with the cut side of a halved garlic clove. Sprinkle with sea salt. Eat plain or add topping.

Yield: Makes 8 bruschettas

Answer 3

Bruschetta is a food originating in central Italy. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables and/or cheese. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer.

In Tuscany, bruschetta is called fettunta, meaning "oiled slice".

It is worth noting that in Italian, bruschetta is pronounced [brusˈket.ta], though in English-speaking countries it is commonly pronounced [bɹəˈʃɛ.ɾə]. The noun "bruschetta" is from the verb in the Roman dialect "bruscare," meaning "to roast over coals." Following a process in historical linguistics known as "semantic shift," the meaning of the word has changed, so that now English speaking Americans typically use the word "bruschetta" to refer to the topping itself, not the dish. Some grocery store chains (e.g., Price Chopper) in the US sell bottled "bruschetta," which is simply tomatoes, onion, garlic, and other herbs.

The snack is extremely popular in middle class London circles and before the British general election in May 2005, newspaper columnist David Aaronovitch made a reference to liberal anti-war people who hold to 'Bruschetta orthodoxies' about Prime Minister Tony Blair. The phrase was picked up by bloggers with the result that the cliche about Guardian readers is no longer that they eat 'muesli' but that they nibble bruschetta.

Answer 5

A french baguette. The skinny long one. If you are adventurous in taste, throw feta in the bruschetta and rub your toasted bread with raw garlic. Spicy and yummy.

Answer 6

What kind ya got??

often, old recipes were created simply because that was the stuff that was around the kitchen. Any simple bread will do but I like the italian loafs better, cut about 1 1/4 inch thick.

Answer 7

Anything will work. But a good loaf of French or Italian bread sliced at an angle is the very best.

Answer 8

I use a french stick, sliced, dipped in olive oil and then cooked in the oven for a few minutes - on a tray. Keep an eye on it or it burns. When golden, take out of the oven and dry on a wire rack. Keeps in an airtight tin for a few days. Also good to use up french stick when its a day old.

Answer 9

Ciabatta is best if you can get the right shape and size. But a french stick will do if you slice thinly at a diagonal you will get nice oval shaped bit size pieces big enough to dip or load with those juicy tomatoes.

Answer 10

italian or french or any bread that is denser and thicker than sliced sandwich bread, the best is the tye baked with herbs in it,explore the bread aisle near the deli in your grocery store,not the sandwich bread aisle

Answer 11

Calabrese bread is THE best but French bread (baguette) or Italian bread would work as well.
