tomato sausage bread

When I last used cherry tomato to bake bread, I cut the tomatoes and wrapped them in the bread dough before rolling up the bread dough. The use of cherry tomatoes made the bread rolls very delicious.

This time, I decided to bake a whole loaf of bread using cherry tomatoes. Da and I had some vienna sausages left in our freezer and I added the sausages to the dough as well. However, on hindsight, I should not have cut the tomatoes and sausages into such small pieces - these ingredients practically disappeared into the bread dough during the kneading process by the breadmaker machine. The next time that I bake this bread, I shall cut the tomatoes and sausages into larger pieces.

INGREDIENTS


1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/4 cup castor sugar
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 cups bread flour
2 1/2 tsp instant dry yeast
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced)
1/2 cup sausages (sliced)

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour, yeast, cherry tomatoes and sausages) in the bucket of the breadmaker machine.

2. Add the bread flour, making sure that the wet ingredients are totally covered.

3. Add the yeast.

4. Place the bucket in the breadmaker machine and set to "dough" cycle. Start the cycle.

5. After 5 minutes of mixing, add the cherry tomatoes and sausages.

6. After another 5 minutes of mixing, check the dough and add 2 tbsp of bread flour if the dough is a little sticky.

7. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. Using floured hands, knead the dough about 5 times to deflate any air bubbles.

8. Place the dough in a loaf pan that has been greased and lined with baking paper.

9. Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth and leave for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

10. Bake in an oven preheated to 190 degrees celsius for 35 minutes.
