Notes
You could find french baguette at major supermarkets and bakeries.
Aside from kalamata, you could also use other kinds of olives like green or black, or a mix of the three.
Sun dried tomatoes are usually tough in texture but don't worry, they will soften in the oil as you wait for the bread to finish toasting.
Feel free to add more ingredients like garlic, capers, parsley, and lemon juice.
Be wary of fake olive oils. If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is. If you're on a budget, I suggest to go for olive oils that are locally made as they are relatively more affordable than imported ones.
