Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chicken sausage, cooked and sliced
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup black olives, sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and sea salt until the honey and salt dissolve.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches.
Evenly distribute the chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, and rosemary over the dough.
Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a log, encasing the filling.
Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits across the top of the loaf.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Savory Sausage Bread.
