For an enhanced flavor profile, consider using garlic-infused olive oil. If you don't have fresh basil, a sprinkle of dried oregano can work in a pinch. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or ciabatta. A sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper adds a final touch of seasoning.
