Italian Butter

Italian Butter

Note: This is the best bread dip. I LOVE it with artisan bread or french bread or the 5 min artisan bread recipe that I have on here. It's so good, and you can modify to add the spices that you prefer.

1 tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I don't use quite this much because I can't handle spice.)
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp minced garlic (I like to make mine a 100% dry mix, so instead of using minced garlic I added extra powder and some garlic salt because I like the flavor of the garlic salt)
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil (for mixing)

I just mix the spices and keep them in an air tight container. When I'm ready to dip it with bread, I add a tsp. or so of the spice mixture and pour some olive oil over it. It's so goooood!
