FOCACCIA WITH ROSEMARY AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the dough: Fill a small bowl with hot tap water. Let the water sit in the bowl for 2 minutes to warm the bowl, then dump it out. In the warmed bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F). Let stand about 5 minutes. (The mixture will be creamy and slightly bubbly; if it isn't, start over with new yeast.)
• In a large bowl, mix together the kosher salt and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Make a well in the center and stir in the yeast mixture, olive oil and 3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F) with a wooden spoon. Mix until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl (it will be sticky). If the dough looks dry, add an additional 2 tablespoons warm water. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead with floured hands until soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Form into a ball. (If using a stand mixer, mix on medium speed until soft and elastic, 4 to 7 minutes.) Brush another large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough and roll to coat with the oil. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Stretch the dough into the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• For the topping: Use your fingertips to dimple the dough. Brush with the oil, top with the sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the baking dish and allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and more flaky sea salt.

NO-KNEAD ROSEMARY PARMESAN SUN-DRIED TOMATO BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl add flour.
• With hands stir in yeast,rosemary, tomatoes, cheese and salt.
• Add honey to water; stir into flour mixture and blend until dough is shaggy and sticky (to sticky to knead).
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap.
• Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees. (I usually have to put in the refrigerator to keep it from rising to fast.).
• Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles.
• Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. (See Note Line 17).
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
• Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal, sprinkled with garlic granules or powder.
• Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours.
• When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.
• At least a half-hour before dough is ready to bake, heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Put a 3 to 4-quart heavy covered dutch oven (cast iron, cast aluminum) in oven to preheat.
• When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven.
• Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that's O.K.
• Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes.
• Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is golden brown. Cool on a rack.
• Note: Instead of removing the dough to a floured board (Step 7), I use the bowl; Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and turn over, sprinkle more flour on top then fold the dough it over and on itself a couple times.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO ROSEMARY BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except tomatoes, in your machine, in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Choose dough cycle. About 5 minutes before the dough cycle ends, add the tomato bits (this keeps the pieces recognizeable).
• When cycle ends, remove and shape as desired. When shaping, poke any pieces of tomato that stick up under the surface of the dough (the tomato will burn). Place on a cornmeal dusted baking sheet, spray lightly with olive oil. Let rise until doubled.
• Bake in a 375 deg. preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until bread tests done. (Rolls will be done in 15 or so minutes).

ROSEMARY AND SUNDRIED TOMATOES BREAD/SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a mixing bowl sift together 1 pound flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, rosemary, and the sun-dried tomatoes. Make a well in the center. Pour most of the milk into the well. Using one hand, mix in the flour from sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn the dough onto a well-floured counter. Wash and dry hands. Knead lightly for 1 second, just to tidy it up, flip over. Pat dough into a round about 1 1/2 inches deep and cut a cross into dough over the sides of the bread to let the fairies out, or shape dough into scones. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400 degrees for another 30 minutes or until cooked. If in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, it should sound hollow. If making scones bake for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven. This recipe yields ?? servings.
