Ingredients

• 1 cup (chopped) sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 cup (chopped) walnuts

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped), and 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; set aside.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk 3 cups bread flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add 1 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon honey, and the reserved tomato-herb mixture; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Step 3: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding 1 tablespoon flour if too sticky. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently fold 1/4 cup chopped walnuts into the dough, then shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5-inch pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
