Ingredients
Sun Dried Tomato Rolls
Sift flour into a bowl, make a well in the center and crumble yeast into the well. Add sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Dust with some flour from the edges and let rise, covered, for about 15 minutes in a warm place. Drain tomatoes, reserving about 2 tablespoons of tomato oil, and chop. Add approximately 1/2 cup of warm water, oil, salt, and tomatoes to flour mixture and knead to a smooth dough. Let rest, covered, for about 2 hours.
Knead on a floured surface, roll out into a rectangle and form into a roll. Cut into 8 equal pieces, arrange on a lined with parchment paper baking sheet and let rise, covered, for another 40 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm or cold.

Healthy, because
This recipe is an excellent source of fiber, especially when using whole-wheat flour. This is beneficial for the intestines and ensures long-lasting satiation. Additionally, the flour also provides B vitamins and the essential amino acid tryptophan, which can be a good mood booster!
Even smarter
Instead of tomatoes, green and black olives go well with this recipe too! If the bread with tomatoes alone is not enough, you can also serve a homemade cream cheese with fresh herbs which will pair nicely with the bread.
