Description

This rustic Red Pepper-Semolina Bread delivers a savory depth and vibrant color perfect for Mediterranean-inspired meals. The combination of coarse semolina flour and roasted red bell peppers creates a tender crumb with a subtle sweetness and mild heat. Ideal for slicing fresh from the oven, this bread pairs beautifully with soups, salads, or as a base for bruschetta. Simple to prepare with common pantry staples, it offers a wholesome, homemade taste that elevates any table setting. Enjoy its aromatic warmth and satisfying texture throughout the week.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, dough enhancer, warm water, semolina flour, chopped roasted red peppers, 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, and olive oil.
  2. Mix ingredients just until they are combined to form a shaggy dough.
  3. Cover the bowl loosely and let the dough sponge (rest) for 15 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the salt over the dough.
  5. Using a mixer on low speed or by hand, gradually add the remaining 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
  6. Add just enough flour until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl but remains soft and slightly sticky.
  7. Knead the dough on low speed for 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, no longer sticky.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased surface and divide it into two equal portions.
  9. Shape each portion into a loaf.
  10. Place the loaves into two greased bread pans or onto a greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
  11. Cover and let the loaves rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  12. Preheat oven to 350ðF (177ðC).
  13. Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Note

Substitution: You can substitute an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce for the olive oil for a lower-fat version.

Ingredient Tip: Jarred roasted red peppers work perfectly here and save time. Ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

Flour Variation: Freshly milled flour or whole wheat flour can be used instead of unbleached flour for a nuttier flavor and denser texture.

Storage: Cool completely before slicing. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
