    This is the only dough that is made slightly differently because I think a tomato bread needs to be blatantly tomatoey – what’s the point if it just tastes like bread with a few tomatoes added to it?

    Tomato bread

    Serves: 6
    Cooking Time: 40 mins + extra for rising

    Ingredients

    • 350g jar sundried tomatoes in oil
    • 200g fine ground semolina flour
    • 800g bread flour
    • 5ml sea salt
    • 2 x 7g sachets of yeast
    • 15ml castor sugar

    Instructions

    1

    Drain the oil from the tomatoes and whiz them in a food processor until finely chopped. Pour into a measuring jug and top up with hot water to 700ml.

    2

    Follow the basic bread recipe using 700ml tomato water instead of 650ml lukewarm water. After knocking the bread back, tear the dough into 6 portions and shape into little French sticks with your hands. Place on a baking tray and leave somewhere warm to rise for about 20 minutes.

    3

    Heat the oven to 200°C, bake until risen and brown, and hollowsounding when tapped, about 30 – 35 minutes.
