   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/3           cup  sun-dried tomatoes -- See Note*
   3               cups  all-purpose flour
   2                tsp  instant yeast -- or bread machine yeast
      1/2          Tbsp  salt
      1/2          Tbsp  dried basil
   1 1/2           cups  warm water
   1               Tbsp  tomato paste
   4                oz.  mozzarella cheese -- shredded, optional

This Tomato Basil No Knead Bread is the perfect partner for your 
winter soups and stews, and is half the cost of a store bought artisan loaf.

Notes:
*I suggest using dry packed sun dried tomatoes for this recipe 
instead of oil packed tomatoes.

Prep: 1:45
Cook: 50 min
Total: 2:35

Chop the sun dried tomatoes into smaller pieces. In a large bowl, 
combine the flour, yeast, salt, dried basil, and chopped tomatoes. 
Stir until they are evenly combined. Stir the shredded mozzarella 
into the flour mixture.

Dissolve the tomato paste into the warm water. Pour the tomato and 
water mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until a sticky ball of 
dough forms. You may need to add slightly more or less water to 
achieve the correct consistency. The dough should be fairly wet and 
sticky, but not so wet that it's glossy or slimy. There should be no 
dry flour left on the bottom of the bowl.

Cover the bowl with the dough loosely, and let it rise for one hour, 
or until it is double in size.

Once risen, sprinkle the dough liberally with flour and scrape it off 
the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface 
and fold it over on itself 5-6 times, or just until the dough looks smooth.

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and allow it to rise 
for another half hour. While the dough is rising, place your Dutch 
oven in the oven and set it to preheat to 425F.

After 30 minutes, very carefully remove the Dutch oven from your 
oven, and remove its lid. Lift your risen dough by picking up the 
parchment paper and then place it in the hot Dutch oven, paper and 
all. Place the lid back on the Dutch oven and return it to the hot oven.

Let the bread bake with the lid on the Dutch oven for 30 minutes, 
then carefully remove the lid and let it bake for another 15 to 20 
minutes, without the lid, to allow the crust to brown.

Once baked, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, lift 
the bread out using the parchment, and allow it to cool before 
slicing and serving.
