What is the best type of bread to use for bruschetta?
Most types of rustic loaves of bread or high-quality artisan loaves of bread make a perfect bruschetta. If you like sourdough bread, that can work great as well. A long skinny French baguette is a classic choice. Our favorite place to get bread for bruschetta is always local European-style bakeries. Not only do they make authentic bread, but it is also a great way to support local businesses.
Tomato Options:
Perfectly ripe tomatoes will make this recipe even better! To find the perfect tomatoes look for heavy tomatoes with a smooth skin. You want it to be plump and free of any big blemishes, bruises, or bug bites. You want to choose a high-quality vine ripened tomato, so it can have as much flavor as possible. You can also try heirloom varieties which can yield both colorful and delicious results.
Can I use dried basil instead of fresh?
Fresh basil is an absolute must in bruschetta. We know there are a lot of times that dried can work, but dried will not give this recipe that punch of flavor it traditionally needs.
