Ingredients

• 1 whole Italian or French bread loaf
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices. You should get around 12 slices, depending on the size of the loaf.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.

Step 4

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each bread slice with the seasoned olive oil.

Step 5

Place the bread slices directly on the hot grill. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the bread is lightly toasted.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of the bread during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to slightly melt.

Step 7

Carefully remove the grilled bread from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy it as-is or use it to scoop up dips, soups, or sauces.
