This sun-dried tomato bread recipe is from Shaun Rankin of Bohemia fame. A slice of this gorgeous sun-dried tomato bread would go perfectly with a number of salads and vegetarian mains, so be creative
Method
1.
Add the flour, salt and yeast to the mixer. Using a dough hook, start the mixer on a slow speed and mix for 2 minutes. Add the water, followed by the sun-dried tomatoes and the oil. Mix on a medium speed for 4 minutes
2.
Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave in a warm area for 25 minutes
3.
When the dough has doubled in volume, remove from the bowl, place on a work surface and knock the dough back with the palm of your hand
4.
Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with the cloth. Repeat the same process after a further 25 minutes
5.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4
6.
After the second knock back, shape the dough into a round ball and place onto a floured baking tray and leave until it doubles in size
7.
Sift a small amount of flour onto the dough before placing in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, or until cooked. To check if your bread is cooked, tap the base of the bread with your fingers - if it sounds hollow, then it's ready
8.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack and then serve
