Sun-Dried Tomato Soda Bread

Sun-Dried Tomato Soda Bread

This recipe came about when I wanted to use up a jar of sun dried tomatoes sitting in my pantry and create something beyond the usual loaf. Soda bread is wonderfully forgiving and requires no yeast or rising time, so you can have fresh, crusty bread on the table in just about an hour. The sun dried tomatoes bring intense flavor plus lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that's actually more concentrated in cooked tomatoes than fresh ones. Combined with basil, garlic, and parmesan, this loaf transforms into something special enough for entertaining yet simple enough for a Tuesday dinner. It's rustic, savory, and absolutely delicious warm from the oven.
