1 slice (medium) of Bread with Oil (35 g) has 102 calories. That works out to 290 calories per 100 g. It contains 15.4 g of carbs, 2.6 g of protein, 3 g of fat and 0.9 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of B1 covers 6% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 65 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Bread with Oil is a simple serving of bread topped with a drizzle of olive oil or another cooking oil, rather than a dish with one fixed recipe or place of origin. The oil soaks into the crumb, adding richness while the bread remains the main part of the meal.
It is often enjoyed as a quick breakfast, snack or accompaniment: in Mediterranean settings, it may be served with olives, tomatoes, cheese or herbs, while elsewhere it works alongside soup or a savoury meal. The flavour depends on the bread and oil, from mild and buttery to grassy and peppery. It is mostly a source of carbohydrates, with some fat and modest protein. For a lighter serving, drizzle rather than pour, and add vegetables or a protein-rich side.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Bread with oil is bread served with oil drizzled over it or alongside it for dipping. Olive oil is a common choice, but other cooking oils work too; the flavor and texture depend on the bread and oil used.
To make bread with oil, drizzle a little oil over sliced bread just before serving. For a crispier version, toast the slices first and add the oil afterward so the bread does not turn soggy.
Olive oil is a popular choice for bread with oil because its flavor pairs well with rustic bread. Use a mild, fresh oil if you want the bread to stay the focus, or a more peppery olive oil for a stronger taste.
Rustic bread with a firm crust and airy crumb works especially well for bread with oil. Its crumb absorbs some oil without falling apart, while a very soft or thin slice can become greasy and limp.
Bread with oil gets soggy when it absorbs too much oil or sits after being dressed. Toast the bread first, drizzle lightly, and serve straight away to keep the outside crisp and the center pleasantly tender.
Toasting is optional, but it gives bread with oil a crisp surface and helps it hold its shape. Add the oil after toasting for the crunchiest result; fresh bread makes a softer version that absorbs more oil.
Bread with oil pairs well with tomato, olives, cheese, soup, or salad. It can also accompany a meal as a simple side; choose fresh or lighter dishes if the bread is generously drizzled.
It is better to prepare bread with oil just before serving because the oil gradually softens the crumb. You can slice and toast the bread ahead, then drizzle it with oil at the table.
Store leftover bread and oil separately when possible, since dressed slices lose their crispness as they sit. Keep the bread in a closed container at room temperature and add fresh oil when you are ready to serve it.
Bread with oil is not automatically healthier than plain bread: the added oil changes its fat and energy content, and the type of oil matters. A modest drizzle and a whole-grain loaf can make it a more filling choice.
