Bruschetta with Tomato, Olive Olive Oil and Basil: a simple and delicious recipe!

Which bread is most suitable for tomato bruschetta?

The star of the bruschetta is definitely the bread, which should not be chosen at random, and should be suitable for the type of ingredients we will use.

Let's start by saying that the ideal bread for bruschetta is homemade, to be cut into slices about 2 cm thick.

For tomato bruschetta, the ideal one is the sourdough one, which is firmer and stays firm on the inside, perfect for best absorbing the slightly more watery toppings without falling apart.

How should bread be toasted?

Of course, a grill would be ideal for bruschetta, but in its absence, a cast-iron griddle or nonstick skillet will also work fine.

Heat them well, lay the bread slices on top and let them toast about 21/2 minutes per side, over medium heat.

Remember that perfectly toasted bread is the one that is crispy on the outside and softer on the inside, ideal for best absorbing all the seasoning.
