Sun Dried Tomato Loaf Inspired By Tribes Freshly Baked Bread. What A Treat That Was.

I visited Dubai this year & let me tell you, there food is by far the most delicious I have ever tasted. We went to a restaurant called Tribes & there food showcases the flavors of Africa, it's Amazing.They provide you with complementary fresh baked bread, a sun dried tomato herb loaf & Date & walnut Loaf. To die for. Here's my take On the Sun dried tomato Loaf with the addition of Goats Cheese Of Course. So tasty. 

Ingredients

650g bread flour 

1 packet dry yeast (7g)

3 tbsp salt

1 tsp sugar

3 tbsp black pepper 

3 tbsp rosemary 

3 tbsp garlic powder 

Chopped sun dried tomatoes (use as many as you like)

3 tbsp tomato purée 

400ml water (combine 300ml boiling with 100ml tap)

100g crumbled goats cheese

1/2 cup Olive oil

Method
In a stand mixer add 650g bread flour, yeast, salt, sugar, pepper, rosemary, garlic powder, chopped sun dried tomatoes, 70g crumbled goats cheese & 3 tbsp tomato purée. Combine everything together using the flat beater on the stand mixer. 
Once combined add the olive oil whilst the motor is still running. Add in the water a bit at a time, you may not need all of it, once the mixture turns into a ball & isn't sticky, then change the flat beater to the dough hook & let the machine do the kneading. Leave the machine running on high for about 5 minutes. 

Whilst the dough is kneading, take a large bowl & oil it all around just coating the bowl lightly. Transfer the kneaded dough to the bowl & cover tightly with cling film, rap a cloth around the bowl & leave to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours. 

Once the dough has risen, dust some flour on the work surface & take the dough out, using your fists, push the dough out quickly but gently then continue kneading two or three times, this helps release any additional air bubbles. 

Take 12 mini foil cases & oil them then set aside. Roll out the dough & section into 12 portions. Roll each portion out into a ball & place in the foil cases. 

Once you have completed all 12 cover again with some cling film & a cloth & let it rise for another hour. 

Pre-heat oven to 160•c. Take the mini loafs & put 3 slits at the top using scissors as I have done in the above picture. In between each slit stuff it with the left over goats cheese. Do this for all 12 loafs & there ready to bale. 

Bake till there golden brown. When you take them out the oven tap the bottom, if it has a hollow sound then you know there ready. 

Freshly baked bread straight out the Oven, what could possibly be better than that. Mouth watering I know. 

Great to eat on its own, I Personally prefer spreading on dollops of butter straight as it comes out the oven, Mmm so tasty. You should give it a try!
