Verdict:
Thumbs up! I love this picture - someone's hand is sneaking a piece of homemade Italian bread. :)   I made this as a surprise for Stephen because he loves those dips you get in the restaurants. This was incredibly easy to make, and it was such a yummy dipping sauce. A big "yes" from the whole family! Highly recommend!
