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.

I’m so happy that your move went well and that you guys are finally getting settled in! And oh my GOSH! Natalie this video is TOTALLY professional and you and Shawn did a fabulous job. I keep thinking I need to hop on the recipe video bandwagon, but I’ve been wayy too scared thus far. LOL. This bread looks amazing—that lovely crispy bread, that gorgeous rosemary oil. Ahhh!! I NEED this bread in my life pronto! Pinned. :)
Super impressive video – the photography and back ground music is just great! Now waiting to see that new house of yours!
Great video Natalie! That bread and dipping sauce looks so good. That’s my kind of eats. Congrats on your new house.
Yay, I’m so happy you’re loving your new home and all moved in now :) It sounds perfect and can’t wait to see pics :) What an awesome video too, Shawn did a great job! And this grilled bread looks amazing with the rosemary dipping oil :)
Congrats on the new home! It sounds wonderful. Your video is so well done! I am so impressed and now I’m dying for some grilled bread dipped in that fantastic oil!
Hi Natalie, sounds like your move went pretty smoothly. What a great new chapter in your lives. Loved your video, looks pretty professional, a great way to bring an idea to life.
This sounds amazing! I think I would end up drinking the dipping sauce :)
congrats on the new house!
So that’s where you’ve been! Congrats on the new house! I cannot wait to see pics. Love the video. I’ve been wanting to do more of those too, so you’ve inspired me. I can eat bread all day, any day. Especially this grilled version!
I woke up way late this morning and didn’t have time for breakfast (what a terrible way to start the day!) and now I am soooo hungry looking at your delicious grilled bread! YUM! I want all of it, like right now!
Congrats on the new house – can’t wait for a virtual tour :). I am loving this recipe video – it seriously made me crave some grilled bread with that amazingly delicious dipping oil! Yum!
Congrats on the move! Ugg waiting for internet is the worst. I love the video! And i watched it on my phone, so something worked?! Cant wait to see the new house pics :)
We’re still waiting another week for cable. But we’ve been so busy I don’t think we’d have any time to watch it until this weekend anyway : )
And yea, the video is working! Was having some issues with it last night since YouTube said the song was copyrighted. You can “dispute” it and claim that you are not infringing on the copyrights, which I did, and guess it worked! Phew : )
Yum! I’m drooling over here. Nothing like fresh bread for dipping.
Have a gorgeous day girl!
xo
I love the video!! I want that bread SO bad now!
Thanks Ber! Didn’t Shawn do a good job? Was so fun making it. And you would love this grilled bread. So much better than plain!
Glad you’re a little more settled in to your new home. Moving is always SO much work. It’s one of my least favourite things but the payoff is always pretty nice :) I love this video! It takes some serious skill to put together a piece like this. I love food photography but watching a video really brings the recipe to life -literally! This recipe is just wonderful. Dipping bread in flavoured oil is one of my favourite things to have with a nice crisp glass of chilled wine in the summer. Looking forward to some new-house updates. Your location surrounded by nature sounds like a little slice of heaven. As a country girl, I LOVE the country! Have fun getting set up in your new house! :)
Thanks Allison. Glad to be all moved in and back in the swing of things.
I’m so glad you liked the video! We had lots of fun putting it together. And it was fun trying something different than just photographing it.
We definitely enjoyed this with a nice glass of wine out on our patio surrounded by trees and hearing hawks soaring above. So happy with where we are now! Glad you can relate as a country girl : )
Lovely idea, Nathalie! This is the kind of thing that they bring you in restaurants when you sit down but I always wish I had a little bit more. Obviously if you make it at home you don’t need to worry about that! (scoff scoff)
I LOVE the sound of your new house. Wow! I can’t believe you have a little wildlife park trooping past there every day. You are going to have a ball there!
Oooh I hear you on the moving/unpacking!! We just got internet and cable yesterday after just over a week’s wait, too! I did a literal happy dance when I saw that wifi button light up. Your house + scenery sounds beautiful! And what a sweet video! Such a lovely idea. Now in other news – this bread. Can I eat the whole loaf, please?
I know, we’re moving twins! We’re still waiting until end of this week to get our cable, but we’ve been so busy I don’t think we would have had time to watch much TV until then anyway. Glad you liked the video! We had such fun making it. And, I may have eaten a whole belly full of this bread. I love carbs so much, this could be my dinner.
I am so glad to see you back, Nat. I missed your posts last week. What a lovely post. I love the way you describe your new home. I could image how your home is. Do you think you can post some pictures another day? I think it would be a great post idea. I am so happy for you, Nat. I really do! I always see you as someone how works so hard. So you deserve all these good things that are happening in your life. LOVE your first recipe video. Shawn did a beautiful job! I hope you will make lots of recipes videos from now on. Have a wonderful week, friend ;-)
Thanks Olivia! You’re always so nice! Your comments put the biggest smile on my face : )
Unpacking took WAY longer than I thought, but luckily we had a 3 day weekend to finish up the last few things. Glad to be back and posting!
I should totally take some pictures to post now! We are working on a fun video of us moving in and making this house our home, but there are still a few things I want to do until it is “done”. Such as art! We have absolutely no pictures anywhere. And I can’t find any art anywhere that I love. I’m not that good at decorating. But I’m getting there. I’m always keeping my eye out.
Didn’t Shawn do a great job with the recipe video? I’m hoping to be able to do recipe videos with all new posts. It’s barely any extra work for us, since Shawn is just filming what I’m doing. But now I can only do recipes when he’s home. But it’s worth it! I’m having lots of fun with it.
Hope you have a great week too friend!
So happy to hear you love your new home. It sounds just perfect. Being surrounded by wild life is great as well. We also have deer and a turkey family that lives in the woods behind us. Enjoy every moment of it. I am making this bread tonight to go along pesto pasta. I just know it will be delicious.
I’m so happy you’re all moved into your new house, Natalie! Sounds like you love it there! I’m jealous of your nature views and animals, sounds amazing! And this grilled bread with the oil looks absolutely delish! Love your video, too!
Moving and unpacking can be very hectic… So glad u loved your new house.. Rosemary dipping oil sounds amazing… Yumm.. :D
