Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Tomato paste
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.
Add the tomato paste, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, but avoid adding too much.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it back to the floured surface. Shape the dough into a round loaf or your desired shape.
Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make a few slashes on top of the loaf for decorative purposes and better crust formation.
Let the shaped dough rest for another 20-30 minutes for a second rise.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Rustic Tomato Bread warm or at room temperature.
