You can’t go wrong with sun dried tomatoes, basil and parmesan combo. I don’t have basil in my hand as during winter my basil plant died. So, I decided to stick with sun dried tomatoes and parmesan.

One thing you need to remember is that you need to use sun dried tomatoes as such with out any addition means in oil. Because too much oil is not good for Sourdough bread.

I made this bread as part of Sourdough bread love challenge with my friend Marisa from Thermofan.

If you want, you can add rosemary or garlic cloves also. I didn’t grate the parmesan, if you want you can do that. I used slightly cubed parmesan as I am lazy to grate parmesan cheese.

This time I did one change to my sourdough bread method I hydrated the dough 6 hours. Means while I am ready to make fresh starter (yes, my starter is active)

I also hydrated the flour. After 6 hours I then incorporated the starter and then Parmesan cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Because bread becomes heavy with this addition still you will able to get open crumbs.

    This is very good sourdough bread. The addition of Parmesan cheese makes all the difference. It is perfect for dunking in soup. HUbby and I can't eat a whole loaf before it gets dry so I cube it up and freeze it for croutons later. A quick crisping up in a skillet with butter is all you need!

    YES to loaves of bread with added flavour. Look at the artwork on that loaf. This is a masterpiece, and I would almost feel guilty cutting into it, but I would devour it for sure.

    Thank you for this delicious recipe! I substituted extra sharp cheddar for the parmesan and it came out beautifully! I will try the parmesan next time. It will definitely become a family favorite. I love your method for cooking the bread by placing it in a cold dutch oven vs a heated one.

    So I have to wait the 6 hours in the beginning? That’s so long. And it’s already an all day breadto make. Do u have an alternate

    • Swathi says

      You can increase the amount of starter to reduce the time, means use 100g and give 4 hours and referigerate and bake next day. if not add some yeast don' wait for sourdough to work you need yeast bread with some sourdough flavor. choose according your wish.

    Looks amazing! I WILL be making this bread.
    I just started baking sourdough a few months ago. I’ve wanted to do sourdough rye,(with the caraway seeds) and make rosemary garlic, etc. should I wait until the last step before shaping and fridge before adding anything extra? Is that the rule?
    Thank you! Yours is the easiest to follow bread recipe I’ve seen 💫

    Hi Swathi,
    I just started sourdough bread baking in the ladt 18 months.
    So far usually they say to warm up Dutch oven then put the dough. But this recipe says to put it in cold Dutch oven. Will it give a hood rise if it’s in cold Dutch oven ??

    Reply

    • Swathi says

      yes bread will rise well in cold oven too. don't worry about pre-heating.

    Swathi - This looks like a great recipe, but under point number 9 it says and I quote ''Transfer the dough to cold Dutch oven and bake for minutes at 450F.'' My question is for how many minutes do you bake this bread for at 450 F ???? - Looking forward to hearing from you, Larry

    Reply

    • Swathi says

      Larry, I bake 450F for 15 min. then reduced the temp to 425F with lid 15 minutes, then without lid for another 15 minutes.

    Dear friend. I already knew that your bread is beautiful and perfectly baked. This recipe is different and works. The addition of dried tomatoes or peppers is fantastic and as you say, it's better to use no oil.
    Thanks for sharing with me Sourdough bread recipes.
    I'm learning and trying to do my best.
    Willing to see next bread.
    Have a nice weekend.
