- Rub raw garlic over the warm bread for a sharp aroma.
- Top with warmed ragu sauce, drizzle with olive oil, and add basil leaves to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Rub the raw garlic while the bread is hot—the rough texture naturally grates the garlic, allowing the aroma to infuse well.
- After topping with ragu sauce, let it sit briefly so the rich juices seep into the bread's crevices, making it even softer and more moist.
