Ingredients:

  • 3-1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3/4 package of active yeast ( quick rising)
  • 1/3 cup minced marinated sun-dried tomatoes (reserving any oil they came with)
  • 3 tbsp herbs de province (rosemary, oregano, marjoram, savory, thyme and lavender in equal parts if you do not have herbs de province handy)
  • 2-1/2 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp of reserved olive oil that came from the marinated sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2-1/2 tbsp of honey
  • once dough is rising you will need
  • 1/3 cup flour , possibly more when letting dough rise once your machine is finished making the dough.
  • when ready to bake you will need
  • water mister or 3 ice cubes for helping to create a crusty and crunchy crust like you love on those italian bastone loafs.
  • 1/4 cup max of corn meal to place under dough when about to bake bread loaf.
  • equipment needed
  • 1 working bread machine dough, two clean dish towels, cookie sheet, large bowl

Directions:

  1. In large bowl, place measured flour in first.
  2. Then add all of the following: minced garlic, minced red onion, minced marinated sun-dried tomatoes, all herbs as noted, salt and pepper(s).
  3. Stir till well combined.
  4. This will help from having to let your bread machine from doing all the work which may result in non-desired results with having clumps of an ingredient in only one spot in your loaf.
  5. ******Adding ingredients to your bread machine:
  6. Add yeast as necessary for your bread machine. Some machines want the yeast in first, others want it in last.
  7. Put all dry ingredients with herbs and seasonings from bowl in order that your bread machine requires.
  8. Add remaining liquids: olive oil, butter, honey and warm water all at once per your bread machine.
  9. Turn that machine on and depending upon how long your machine takes, you will have amazing smelling homemade bread in your bread machine in no time flat.
  10. *********
  11. To make the rustic looking loaf like I did, I set the machine on the dough setting, which mine takes about 1-1/2 hours.
  12. Once dough cycle is completed, put dough out onto floured surface and place clean dish towel over it.
  13. Let rest for 20 minutes before working it into the shape you want. Letting the dough rest will make it easier to work with.
  14. Is dough too sticky to work with? - See notes in comments section to correct this - you may have to add additional flour and work it in.
  15. Once rested, shape into a large baguette or round.
  16. Place bread on cooking sheet that has been sprinkled with corn meal.
  17. Cover with clean cloth, place in a warm spot (80 degrees F) and let rise until it doubles - anywhere from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours depending upon the room's temperature.
  18. Preheat oven at 400 degrees.
  19. Make a criss cross cut with knife if making a round shaped bread or several slashes along the bread if making a baguette shape.
  20. Using water mister, mist bread all over prior to putting in oven, turn down oven temperature to 350 and let bake for 30 minutes.
  21. No water mister? - Throw three ice cubes on bottom of oven when placing dough in oven to bake - this helps create a crunchy crust.
  22. Check after 30 minutes to see if done, knock on bread , does it sound hollow? If not, bake for another 5 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool.
  23. Serve anyway you wish...with sun-dried tomato garlic butter, toasted with creme cheese or serve with hearty stew or soup or simply in any other way you like.
  24. Enjoy this new bread recipe I created and I truly hope you have fun baking it! Tell me how you liked it, if you try it!
