Ingredients
  

Basic Version – 1½-Pound Loaf

  • ⅔ cup water
  • 3 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil finely chopped
  • ½ cup canned tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Italian herb blend
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp yeast

Larger Version – 2-Pound Loaf

  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil finely chopped
  • ¾ cup canned tomato sauce
  • 1½ tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 1⅓ cups Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2⅔ cups bread flour
  • 1½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1½ tsp Italian herb blend
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 1¼ tsp yeast

Instructions
 

  • Add ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed for your selected loaf size: start with water and end with yeast.
  • Use the Basic/White setting on your bread machine.
  • Select the loaf size that matches your ingredients (1½ or 2-pound).
  • Start the machine and let it complete the cycle.
  • Once baking is complete, remove the loaf and transfer to a wire rack.
  • Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the crumb to set.

Notes

Cheese Tip: Add the Parmesan with the liquids—it will melt into the dough for even distribution.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Make an Italian grinder with slices of salami, capicola, and mozzarella.
  • Grill with roasted peppers and provolone for a gourmet sandwich.
  • Toast and top with meatballs and mozzarella for an open-faced sandwich.
This bread stores well in a sealed bag at room temperature for 2–3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
