Bread Dipping in oil was originally considered more of an Italian custom than regular restaurant fare. As “eating out” became the norm, “signature breads” became a rage with examples such as hot cross buns to Red Lobster biscuits. As it turns out dipping bread in olive oil violates the Italian Food Rule.
