Equipment
- 1 bowl
- 1 plastic container with a lid, and 1 slightly larger container in which another can float.
Ingredients
- 200 - 250 gram Bread flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant dry yeast
- 2/3 tablespoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoon Powdered cheese
- 130 - 150 ml Water (35C / 95F degrees)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 30 gram Sun dried tomatoes (drain oil, chopped coarsly)
- # 15 - 20 Cherry tomatoes
- # 30 gram Shredded cheese
- # appropriate amount Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary etc.)
- # 1 - 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- # Salt and pepper
Instructions
- First, put ingredients (bread flour, instant dry yeast, sugar, salt, powdered cheese, olive oil - 1 tablespoon ) in a bowl. (pay attention not to put the yeast in direct contact with salt).
- Pour water around the yeast and sugar, and mix with rubber spatula. When the whole comes together, take it out to work surface dusted with bread flour and knead it for a couple of minutes.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the dough and mix to spread the tomatoes into whole dough. Then knead the dough for about 5 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth.
- Roll the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl, cover it with cling film, and leave it until doubled. Or put it in a plastic container and cover with a lid, float this in a slightly larger container containing 50C / 122F degree of hot water and cover it with tea towel. Let the dough rise until it doubles. If the water has cooled after about 20 minutes, replace it with warm water again.
- When the dough has doubled, take it out from the bowl / container onto a dusted work surface and press it a little to remove large air bubbles and roll it into a ball again. Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Place the dough on a parchment paper. Then roll it into your favorite shape with a rolling pin.
- Make holes on the dough with your fingers (dip your finger in the bread flour to prevent the dough from sticking). Apply a generous amount of olive oil with a brush. Place the dough together with the parchment paper on the baking tray. Cover it with cling film, then cover it with a towel and leave it in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it is a bit risen.
- Preheat the over to 200 C = 392F.
- Remove the cling film and place your favorite topping on the dough. In this recipe, toppings are cherry tomatoes, cheese and herbs. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Bake in a 200C = 392F oven for about 13 -15 minutes or until golden.
Notes
