Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 10 g Sugar
- 10 g Salt
- 300 ml Warm water (approximately 110°F or 45°C)
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 100 g Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 5 g Dried oregano
- 5 g Dried basil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, oregano, and basil. Mix well.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, remaining olive oil, and caramelized onion mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a round boule or a loaf. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the dough with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
