Notes
- Sun-dried tomatoes. If possible, use the ones that are packed in oil. If you have dry-packed tomatoes, soak them in warm water for 15-30 minutes before using them.
- Oil. Reserve the oil from the sundried tomatoes. Measure it, then top it up with extra virgin olive oil to make up ½ cup. This infuses the bread with extra flavor.
- Herbs. Quantities for fresh herbs instead of dried herbs are in the recipe. If you're using fresh herbs, add them along with the sun-dried tomatoes and feta.
- Don't overmix. Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients gently and quickly, just until everything is combined.
- Baking pan. All you need is a loaf pan to bake this bread, but you can use a Dutch oven for a rounded more rustic sun-dried tomato loaf.
- Storage. Store the bread in a re-sealable bag in the fridge for up to three days.
- To Freeze. Allow the loaf to cool completely. Wrap the bread in foil and then in plastic wrap. Or, place it in a zip-lock freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature.
