Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Roasted red peppers, diced
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In the bread machine pan, add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt.
Gently layer the all-purpose flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Create a small well in the center of the flour without reaching the liquid layer underneath. Add the active dry yeast into this well.
Distribute the diced roasted red peppers, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the top of the flour.
Secure the bread machine pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on the bread machine, and use the 'Medium' crust option, if available.
Press 'Start' to begin the bread-making cycle. Ensure the ingredients combine thoroughly during the kneading process by checking once after a few minutes. Scrape down flour from the edges if necessary, but avoid adding too much water.
Once the cycle is complete and the bread has baked to a golden, aromatic perfection, remove the bread pan from the machine.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the savory flavors of roasted pepper bread!
