Method

  1. Step 1:

    Put the flour, salt, parmesan, sundried tomatoes and paste into a large bowl.

  2. Step 2:

    Add the chopped herbs and easy bake yeast, then pour in the warm water.

  3. Step 3:

    Mix together with your hands until the mixture combines to make a rough dough ball.

  4. Step 4:

    Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. Step 5:

    Shape into a 23cm (9inch) round. Put into a greased 23cm (9inch) round tin. Press lots of indentations into the top of the bread with your finger. If you like, scatter over a few extra herbs, drizzle with some of the olive oil from the sundried tomatoes and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

  6. Step 6:

    Cover loosely with cling film. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size (this will take about 30-40 minutes.)

  7. Step 7:

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C, gas mark 7). Remove cling film from bread and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Bake the bread for 35 minutes until golden.
