The perfect recipe to jump into the summer with - sun-dried tomato cheese bread. 🍅
Studded with tomatoes, fresh herbs, and cheese gives it a flavor similar to a pizza bread. Recipe link in our profile >>> @redstaryeast

Created by @completelydelicious

Ingredients
3 c. bread flour, divided
1 package (7g) Red Star Active Dry Yeast
2 tbs. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. table salt
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1 tbs. Italian seasoning
1/4 c. plain yogurt
7/8 c. water
8 halves sun-dried tomatoes (rehydrated)

Instructions
1. Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes: Place in small bowl, cover with water; let stand 2 hours. Drain well on paper towels.
2. In stand mixer bowl, add 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat yogurt and water and to 120-130°F. Add to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
3. Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually stir in sun-dried tomatoes and enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
(For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)
4. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after poking dough with finger down to second knuckle, about 1 hour.
5. Punch down dough. Roll or pat into a 14×7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 8½x 4½-inch bread pan. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe and an indentation remains after lightly touching the side of loaf.
6. Preheat oven to 375°F.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
