Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup warm water with 2 tablespoons of snipped unsalted dried tomatoes. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
-
In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water. Sprinkle 1 packet of active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of bread flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon crushed rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
-
Add the yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the soaked tomatoes with their liquid to the dry ingredients.
-
Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
-
Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
