What are some dip recipes that can be used with bread and oils?

[camiesu]

anyone know of a dip we can use bread in or cust asked about dipping oils ?

 

[ChefPaulaB]

Not sure exactly what you are asking for... do you want the bread to actually be a part of the dip or do you want a dip that you can dip bread in?

 

[camiesu]

she wants to make homemade bread and wants a good dip to dip it in. like oil dip or something. but good flavor

 

[ChefPaulaB]

Well, our oil dipping seasonings are really good and would work well for that. Other than that, all I can think of is like a spinach dip where you would normally serve it in a bread bowl and all of the bread that you tore out of the center to make the bowl would be used for dipping. there is the Hot Pizza Dip that would work if the bread was toasted like in the oven so it would hold up to the dipping or spreading, but I don't think that just soft bread would work. I'd probably tend to lean toward the oil dipping seasonings for soft homemade bread...

4 oz (125 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (125 mL) milk

1 lemon
8 oz (250 g) sour cream
Grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)

Place bread bowl on center of Large Round Stone with Handles. Arrange bread cubes around bowl; spray with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer.

Add artichokes, soup mix and garlic pressed with Garlic Press to batter bowl; mix well using Small Mix 'N Scraper®. Microwave on HIGH 5-7 minutes or until hot (do not boil). Juice lemon using Juicer to measure 2 tbsp (30 mL) juice. Stir juice and sour cream into artichoke mixture; pour into bread bowl.
