Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups lukewarm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Add the lukewarm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the dough to release any excess air and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes until puffed up.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is undergoing its second rise.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
