Grilled Bread with Rosemary Dipping Oil
This is a post full of firsts!
This is the first recipe that was cooked and photographed at our new house! After a week of moving, unpacking, painting, 5 trips to Home Depot, and building more Ikea furniture than I thought possible, we’re now fully moved in! *happy dance*
Moving is a lot more work than I thought. And we only moved 8 minutes away!
I can’t tell you how much I love our new little home. It’s a small 1 bedroom house, but it is on a ranch surrounded by acres of open space. It feels like we’re camping every day. It so peaceful to be surrounded by trees and animals. So far we have seen deer, a pack of turkeys that walk by most mornings and evenings, squirrels, and my mom even saw wild pigs! We hear cows mooing off in the distance every now and then.
Can’t wait to show you guys once it’s finished. There’s a fun little video in the works : )
This is also the first post published from our new house now that it is finally hooked up to wifi. After a week (yes, a whole week!) of waiting, we got internet on Friday. Doing all internet things on your iPhone is pretty tricky. Don’t worry, I was still able to order a few essentials off Amazon from my tiny iPhone screen, *wink*
And now for the funnest first for Tastes Lovely…my first recipe video!
With our new house comes a huge backyard with lots of light that makes recipe videos possible!
I’ve been wanting to make recipe videos for-ev-er. I mean, hello, we own a videography business. I love “storytelling” thru film, and I hope it will be helpful to all you home cooks who learn visually and do better with a little more instruction. Or maybe you aren’t a very experienced cook, and seeing how easy and approachable my recipes are you will have the confidence to make the recipe for your family.
I can take almost no credit for this video. This is all thanks to Shawn. He shot a majority of it while I did the cooking, then he edited the entire video in less than 30 minutes. Couldn’t have done it without him. He’s a pro at this.
Without further ado…
This grilled bread with rosemary dipping oil is simply amazing. You must grill your bread! The sliced bread is drizzled with olive oil, then grilled on high for just a few minutes. While it’s still warm, you rub the grilled side with raw garlic. The garlic just melts away and packs it with a light garlic flavor.
No grilled bread is complete without dipping oil. I love adding fresh herbs to my dipping oil, especially rosemary.
This grilled bread with rosemary dipping oil is the perfect summer appetizer or side dish.
Grilled Bread with Rosemary Dipping Oil
Ingredients
- 1 baguette loaf, sliced in half horizontally
- olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
Rosemary Dipping Oil
- 1/4 olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat your grill on high heat for 5 minutes. Drizzle the cut side of your bread with olive oil. The actual amount you will need will depend on the size of your bread. On the bread I used, it was about 1 tablespoon per side.
- Place the bread cut side down on the hot grill and cook for about 4 minutes, or until desired doneness. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and rub with raw garlic clove while still hot. The garlic clove will slowly melt into the bread. You only use about half a clove per side.
- Make the dipping oil by combining the olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Drizzle with balsamic.
- Cut the grilled bread into 2" thick slices, serve with the rosemary dipping oil.

Congrats on the move darling! It can get ever sooo exhausting, but I’ glad to know that everything’s going fine and you have your wifi connection up and running now, yay!
The video looks lovely, and so does the recipe. Ohh I’m so hungry now! xx
I know what it feels like to visit Home Depot five-bazillion times. :) Moving is such work! I’m excited that you guys like the location of your new home. Hustle and bustle is fun for awhile, but I’m a firm believer in relaxation and calmness. Can’t wait to see photos of the new place!
LOVE, love, love this video. Pretty darn awesome. Go you! And that bread looks to-die-for. It’s 10:00 in the evening here, and I think I’ll have dreams of this bread tonight!
I LOVE everything about this post! Your new home sounds really wonderful. I can’t wait to see and hear more about it. And I’m speechless. That video is awesome! You know that I am totally jealous that you have such fabulous videos. One of these days, I am going to try to shoot a few videos of my own. But until then, I am going to marvel at yours and imagine myself eating a slice or two of this delicious grilled bread!
Such a lovely video! I love the music. How exciting that you are settled in your new house. Your Rosemary Dipping Oil looks wonderful!
the new home sounds lovely Nat, congratulations!!! Very jealous of all the outdoor space, but loving that I get to enjoy it via recipe videos – so awesome! Rosemary is far and away my favorite all time spice, so obviously I am swooning over this :)
I adore this post Natalie for more than one reason!! First off, congratulations for being all moved in and finally having internet!! Sounds like a quaint adorable little home…aka perfect house for two!! Secondly, this video is amazing. I just love that there isn’t any talking, not too long, detailed, and makes the recipe look so easy for anyone to be able to do!! Keep doing this girl!! SO awesome!! You and Shawn make such a great team. You’re lucky to have each other ;) Anywho, the flavors behind this bread is awesome. I particularly love the rubbing of garlic instead of putting chunks on the bread. Subtle yet perfect amount of garlic I bet! Lovin’ the oil….i’m a sucker for dipping bread in oil!
Thanks for sharing dear!! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store this week!
Love the video! We love grilled bread with different dipping oils!
Congrats on the new place! This bread looks like perfection. I LOOOVE rosemary but can never find enough uses for my massive bush!
Your new home sounds amazing! And this bread? Oh my it looks wonderful! I love that picture of the grilled bread dripping with the rosemary oil. So good!
Yay! Hooray for a new house! I love having a clean slate, even though moving is a hassle! This bread looks amazing, and great job on the video!
Yayyyy for being fully moved in! As you know, I feel your pain. We moved 10 minutes away from our previous home and could not believe how long it took, and how much energy was required to get our junk moved. (On a related note: really must declutter.)
Cannot wait to see your new home! It sounds so relaxing, peaceful and gorgeous. So happy for you!
Also, this bread — I would eat it allllll.
How have I never grilled bread before?! I love it in all of it’s shapes and forms, and grilling is pretty much a summer essential — I think I’ve been missing out! Looks delicious.
Yay for being all moved in! I hate moving, and would suffer so badly without internet! Ha, I laughed at your amazon comment…darn you, one click shopping (I’ve been there!). This bread looks amazing, and I will be back to watch your video premiere as soon as I am back on my computer!
They say that the three most stressful things in life are marriage, death, and moving. Moving is so much work! Our last move we even had movers to pack everything for us and it still seemed like a lot of work. That’s awesome that you guys are all moved in now, I’m so happy for you! Your place sounds amazing, I would love to have so much land, it must be so nice to sit outside!! As you know, I’m huge fan of the grill and I LOVE grilled bread! The olive oil, rosemary, balsamic dip sounds so great! I also love your video!! I’ve been thinking of doing a video, but I”ve been so scared, You’ve inspired me to give it a try!
YAY!!!! Congrats on the new house!!! So happy that you are all unpacked and moved in :) And totally loving this video! You totally have to do more of them. They are awesome!!!
Hooray for finally moving and getting wifi up and running. Isn’t it crazy how dependent we are on that. I could go weeks, months without TV, but a few hours without a connection and I’m lost. Haha
Your house sounds lovely and having lots of land is wonderful.
Love your video. The music is so peaceful :D
Glad you got moved into your new house! Sounds like a peaceful quiet place. I love this video you both did such a great job! And the recipe looks delicious I’ll find any reason to grill something these days :)
