Fettunta

There is only one real way to make this delectable creation, and that is Mario Batali style. This is garlic bread reinvented, though really the way it was intended to be. It will forevermore be fettunta to you as well...

You take the best crusty bread or French baguette you can find, you slice it up and put it on a baking sheet. Then you generously douse it with the best olive oil you can find (truly, the better the olive oil the more delicious the fettunta, so splurge). You put these soaked little breads into an oven at the broil setting for about 3-4 minutes (depending on the oven), until they are crunchy and golden brown. Alternatively you can grill them (even better!). Then you swiftly rescue them from the oven or grill, and quickly rub them vigorously with cloves of garlic you have prepared ahead of of time. Just before serving, sprinkle them with obvious showers of corse salt (my favourite is French sea salt). Serve them warm.

TO DIE FOR! Life was meant to be savoured in precious moments like the ones you can create as easily as this fettunta.

Give it a try, you will be delighted!
