I cut up a baguette into rounds. Mix chopped tomatoes, garlic and a little Italian seasoning and olive oil, mound on top of bread, put some parmesan on it and pop it in the broiler. Mama Bruschetta!

Answer 3

I still eat it every time I visit my mother in Italy.

The bread you are talking about is called frisella, and yes you soften it under running water.

Just cut a tomato in half and rub each half on the bread, I also cut up the tomato when I'm done and put it on the frisella along with olive oil, salt, basil and you like it a little oregano.

YUMMY!!

Answer 4

Bruschetta ......  You can basically put whatever you like on top.  I've never heard of running bread under water though:)  Brush the cut loaf with some olive oil.  Mix cut-up tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt & pepper and put it on top;  bake at about 375-400 for about 15 min.  You can add Parmesan or shredded mozzarella / provolone cheese, onions, kalamata olives, garlic, or whatever else you want too........

Answer 5

i think you rub the bread with garlic cloves, then top with tomatoes with their juice and some chopped fresh basil and drizzle with olive oil and broil in the oven for a few minutes.
