Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups lukewarm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the lukewarm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release any excess air and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes until puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is undergoing its second rise.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
