How to cook deliciously - Tomato, Basil, and Garlic-Filled Pane Bianco

1. Stage

In a small bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit 10 minutes. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add milk, oil, yeast mixture, eggs, and salt. Mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.

2. Stage

Stir in enough of the flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface or with a dough hook 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease top. Cover, let rise in a warm place until double, about 45 minutes.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, thoroughly drain sun dried tomatoes; lay on paper towel to absorb moisture. Using kitchen shears, finely chop tomatoes. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. Stage

Punch down dough, divide in half. Roll one piece into a 22 x 8 1/2-inch rectangle. Sprinkle on half of the garlic, cheese, basil, and tomatoes. Starting with 22-inch side, roll up (jelly-roll fashion) tightly. Pinch edges to seal.

5. Stage

Place roll seam-side-down on baking sheet. With scissors, cut lengthwise down center of roll, about 1 inch deep to within 1/2 inch of the ends. Keeping cut-side up, form an "S" shape. Tuck both ends under center of "S" to form a figure eight; pinch ends to seal.

6. Stage

Cover; let rise in a warm place until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.

7. Stage

Bake the first loaf in a preheated 350-degree F oven 35 to 40 minutes. Tent loaf with foil after 15 to 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Bake remaining loaf.

8. Stage

Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
