Prepare the Bread

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I make bruschetta ahead of time?

It's best to assemble bruschetta just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can prepare the tomato topping up to a few hours in advance and store it at room temperature. Toast the bread right before serving.

What kind of bread is best for bruschetta?

Italian bread or a baguette works well because they have a good texture and can hold up to the topping. Sourdough or other crusty breads can also be used.

Can I add other ingredients to my bruschetta?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other ingredients like red onion, Kalamata olives, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
