Bread Dipping Spices Recipe:

1 T basil (recommend fresh)
1 T parsley (recommend fresh Italian)
1 T minced garlic (recommend fresh or jar-kind, not dehydrated)
1 t dried thyme
1 t dried oregano
1 t ground black pepper
1/2 t minced rosemary (recommend fresh)
1/2 t salt (recommend kosher salt or ground sea salt)
1/4 t crushed red pepper
1/2 t olive oil
1/8 t lemon juice

Combine all ingredients. You can use a food processor if you like, but I don’t and it comes out okay. Put on a dish and pour olive oil over spices. Dip bread in mixture. Crusty french bread is good.
