Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Vegan cream cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir together until well mixed.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) once the dough is nearly finished rising.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the dough slightly to form a thick oval or rectangle.
Spread the vegan cream cheese evenly over the surface of the dough.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and spread them over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil, ground black pepper, and garlic powder over the top of the tomatoes.
Bake the prepared bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cream cheese is slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Vegan Savory Bread with Cream Cheese and Cherry Tomatoes.
