Okay, I’ll “bite.”The first thing I thought of when I read your invitation for recipes, was French bread to dip in the soup. Then I thought of “French Dip,” which is a sandwich on a hoagie or roll, that is dipped into au jus. When I finally got my thoughts under control enough to address your question, I thought of Bruschetta. If you have never tried it, you are in for a treat.
There are a lot of various recipes out there calling themselves Bruschetta. The word comes from the verb, to brush, which is why the garlic is brushed onto the surface of the bread in the more authentic recipes.
One thing I do enjoy is eating. So food preparation is also just down the list a short way. Give this one a try.
Dan’s Bruschetta
1 loaf French or Italian bread, cut in 1” slices
1 pound ripe tomatoes (I prefer Roma)
3-4 oz. pitted black olives, chopped
1 clove of garlic, peeled
2 Tbs. fresh basil, chopped
¼ pound Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Olive oil
3 tsp. Sea salt
1. Wash, seed, and chop tomatoes.
2. Add salt, olives and basil; stir and set aside at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
3. Warm the olive oil.
4. Grill the bread until hot and very lightly toasted (on both sides).
5. While the bread is toasting, stir in cheese to the tomato mixture.
6. Brush top surface of each bread with garlic clove.
7. Pour about 2 tsp. olive oil on each bread.
8. Spoon on tomato topping and serve at once.
Suggestions:
If preferred, garlic (fresh chopped, or liquid extract) can instead be added to the tomato mixture with the salt and basil.
Dried basil can be substituted, reducing from 2 Tbs. fresh herbs, to 1 tsp. dried.

» jerrib - Sounds yummy, Dan - Here's a yeast bread recipe
Here's a heavy yeast bread that my sister used to make when she was in college:Vicki's Health Bread
1 T. active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/4 cup boiling water
1/3 cup honey
1 T. salt
3 T. margarine
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. rye flour
1 c. oatmeal
1 T. orange rind
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
Combine yeast, warm water and sugar. Set aside. In large mixing bowl combine boiling water, honey, salt and margarine. Stir until margarine is melted. Allow to cool to lukewarm. Stir in yeast mixture. Add flours and oatmeal. Stir vigorously until mixed.
Place dough in buttered bowl; turn to grease top. Let rise, covered, until doubled (about one hour). Stir in orange rind and sunflower seeds. Turn into well-buttered loaf pan. Let rise until doubled. Bake one hour at 350 degrees. Cool ten minutes, then remove from pan.
This makes a heavy loaf that's very filling.
Enjoy!

Dan,This sounds so yummy! I've had bruschetta once or twice, and each time with soup--they were perfect complements to one another.
Thanks for this; will givew the recipe a try and let you know how it turns out for me.

Jerri,Thanks for this recipe of your sister's. It sounds great, too, will just keep in mind not to try and swim too soon after eating the "heavy" bread. : )
