Roasted-Tomato Bread
- 4 pints cherry tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
- 4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 pounds (about 5 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 10 ounces (about 1 3/4 cups) semolina flour
- 1 1/2 ounces fresh yeast
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Divide tomatoes evenly between two rimmed baking sheets; drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt.
- Bake until tomatoes begin to shrivel and juice on the pan has reduced, about 45 minutes; remove from oven.
- Lightly brush another rimmed baking sheet with olive oil; set aside.
- Raise oven temperature to 425F.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring milk to a simmer.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine remaining 2 teaspoons salt, the flours, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and the yeast.
- Mix on low speed, gradually pouring in the hot milk until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Once combined, mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
- The dough will be very sticky.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Using lightly oiled hands, spread the dough evenly, making sure it fills the pan.
- Cover tightly with oiled plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough reaches just below the edge of the pan, about 30 minutes.
- Using your fingers, dimple the dough, in an uneven pattern, leaving 2 inches between each dimple.
- Evenly arrange half of the roasted tomatoes on the dough.
- Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Scatter the remaining tomatoes on top, then sprinkle with salt.
- Cut into slices with a serrated knife or pizza wheel.
- The bread can be kept, wrapped tightly in plastic, at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
