- Yields:
-
4 loaves
ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 2⁄3 - 2 cups warm milk
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 5 tablespoons oil from the jar sun-dried tomatoes
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3⁄4 cup drained sun-dried tomato, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
directions
- Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl, and make a well in the center. Mix the yeast with 2/3 cup of the warm milk and add to the flour.
- Mix the tomato paste into the remaining milk until evenly blended, then add to the flour with the tomato oil and olive oil.
- Gradually mix the flour into the liquid ingredients until you have a dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Return to the clean bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours.
- Punch down, and add the tomatoes and onion. Knead until evenly distributed through the dough. Shape into four loaves and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a dish towel and let rise again for about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the bread for 45 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when you tap them with your fingers. Let cool on a wire rack. Eat warm, or toasted with grated mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top.

I'm a 20-something who has been cooking for a long time. I tend to follow recipes when I cook 90% of the time, but I'm slowly learning to be more relaxed about modifying them. I spent a year in Japan when I was in high school, so I have a great love of Japanese cuisine. I also very much have a sweet tooth, so I like to bake quite a bit.

<br>I been slowly attempting to remove most processed foods from my diet along with high-fructose corn syrup and partially-hydrogenated fats. I has gone well so far, but there are some frustrations. It can be problematic because such foods are often more expensive, and low-fat foods can contain a plethora of non-natural ingredients.
