Recipe - Basic Bruschetta

1 Round loaf country bread,
not too dense
6 Cloves of garlic, peeled and
cut in half
One half cup Extra virgin olive oil

Prepare a mediumhot charcoal fire.

Cut the middle portion of the round loaf into 6 long slices, each one
almost an inch thick. Cut these slices in half, making halfslices that are
roughly 3x3x1 inches.

When fire is ready, place the 12 slices over it in a single layer. Cook,
turning once, until the outsides of the bread are golden brown (with grill
marks, if possible). This should take about 2 minutes per sidebut check
frequently to make sure the bread isn't burning.

When the bread slices are done, rub the edges of each one, on both sides,
with a cut clove of garliclightly or heavily, depending on your garlic
preference. Place the slices on a large platter in a single layer. Sprinkle
each slice with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, breaking the surface of the bread
lightly with a spoon to let the oil soak in. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn the slices over and repeat the procedure. Let the slices sit in the
olive oil for 1015 minutes. Serve as is for simple bruschetta.
