Unique twist on an Italian bread! The aroma as it bakes, is wonderful. You start drooling before it comes out of the oven.

15 minutes 1 hour 15 minutes to rise

35-45 minutes

8 people, 2 slices each

Ingredients
¼ cup warm water 110-115 degrees
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active rise yeast
½ cup warm milk 110-115 degrees
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 large egg
1 tsp salt
3 cups bread flour
-------------------------
¼ tsp granulated garlic
1/3 cup grated parmesan & romano cheese
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
¼ cup small chopped pecans
½ cup sun dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil, chopped


Directions
1. In a small mixing bowl add the warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes or until it starts to bubble.
2. In a large stand mixer mixing bowl, add the milk, oil, yeast mixture, egg, and salt mix with the paddle attachment until well combined. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a soft dough has formed. Once the dough is pretty soft, you will be switching to the dough hook. Add more flour until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl and is smooth and elastic. Place dough into a large greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. About 45 minutes
3. When dough is done rising, place dough on to a clean counter top and roll to 18 in. X 12 in. rectangle. Sprinkle on the garlic, cheeses, basil, pecans and tomatoes. Beginning at the long end, roll up tightly pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down, on a parchment-lined large baking sheet.
4. With a sharp knife or scissors, cut lengthwise down center of the roll, about 1 inch deep to within ½ inch of ends. Keeping cut side on top and form an “S” shape. Tuck both ends under center of “S” to form a “figure eight”. Pinch dough to seal. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after 25 minutes to prevent excess browning. Remove from pan cool on wire rack. Yields: 1 loaf.
