A delicious and easy recipe for Sun-Dried Tomato Bread that combines savory sun-dried tomatoes with fluffy dough, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it gets foamy and bubbly.
  2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix until combined.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and start kneading for about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the sun-dried tomatoes: Chop your sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces, then knead them gently into the dough.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
  6. Shape the loaf: Once risen, punch down the dough, transfer it to a greased surface, and shape it into a loaf.
  7. Second rise: Place the shaped loaf into a greased pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake the bread: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  10. Cool and enjoy: Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.

Notes

For a cheesy twist, add mozzarella or parmesan. For a spicy kick, include crushed red pepper flakes.
