How to make Oil Dippers.
You will need:
1/4th Cup of Warm/Hot Water.
1 Cup of Olive Oil.
Directions:
In a small bowl, add 1/4 of a Cup of water to heat up.
Stir the heated water into the Oil Dipper, and let it sit for at least 5 minutes. The heated warm water will let the spices secrete their oils, the longer you let it sit, the more oils and flavors will flow into the dip. This process is called “blooming”.
Add 1 Cup of Olive Oil into the hydrated mix, and stir it in until it’s properly incorporated.
You can put it into a dipping bowl and that’s it, you’re done!
P.S. We HIGHLY recommend using the oil dippers for dipping pizza slices or the side breads, with like flavors (example: Roasted Garlic Oil Dipper, or Chimichurri Oil Dipper) for an unforgettable and exquisite pizza experience!
