Dried Tomato Bread

0

This is the ultimate grilled cheese bread. Since I tried this recipe the first time, I’ve never made grilled cheese any other way! You can either bake it in the bread machine, or make the dough and bake it in a bread pan.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup finely chopped onion
4 tsp. olive oil or cooking oil
3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. snipped dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
3 cups flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed (or 1 Tbsp. snipped fresh oregano)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. active dry yeast

Directions:

Optional: cook onion in hot oil until tender, cool slightly
1. Add the ingredients to the machine in order.
2. Select the basic white bread cycle if you’re baking in the bread machine, or the dough cycle if not. I prefer to bake it in a bread pan.
3. At the end of dough cycle, turn dough onto floured surface, let raise 15 minutes.
4. Shape into loaf and put in greased loaf pan.
5. Raise covered in warm place for 45 minutes.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

I use this bread with 1 slice of munster cheese, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese to make the perfect, toasty grilled cheese with an epic cheese pull, and enjoy with hot tomato soup for the perfect comfort food dinner!

Notes:

Servings: 1 loaf
Prep time: 1 hour (includes rising time)
Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Total time: 1 hour & 25 minutes

This list lives on the wall in the hallway, and the highlight of her week is their “Saturday Adventures” where they try to check somewhere off the list as a family each weekend. Their favorite places to visit are the National Park System sites! As a military spouse, Abigail loves to help build into her community through attending PWOC, and her dream is to encourage military families everywhere to embrace where they are called to be.
