Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Roasted red bell peppers
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 100 grams of the flour with the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir to dissolve the yeast.

Step 2

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add the remaining flour and salt to the yeast mixture and mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Add the olive oil to the dough, knead for another 2-3 minutes to incorporate it fully.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, prepare the red pepper spread. In a food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and paprika.

Step 8

Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead briefly to remove air bubbles.

Step 10

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover again and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Let the bread cool slightly before slicing.

Step 14

Serve the slices of soy-free homemade bread with a generous spread of red pepper mixture.
