Bacon And Sun Dried Tomato Bread

• 2 3/4 - 3 1/4 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope fast rising yeast (instant and or bread machine yeast)
• 1 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup very warm water (120 - 130F)
• 2 tablespoons very warm water (120 - 130F)
• 1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon
• 1/3 cup drained chopped, sun-dried tomato (packed in oil)
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus additional for brushing top of loaf)

1. Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, basil and salt in a large mixer bowl. Add water; mix on medium speed of mixer for 1 minute. Add in bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and butter; mix to combine. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
2. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Form dough into a smooth loaf and place in pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 30 to 40 minutes, or until dough is doubled in bulk.
3. Bake in a preheated 375u0b0F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until done. Brush top with melted butter, if desired. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on cooling rack.
