Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Focaccia is a delicious Italian bread that is perfect for any occasion. This savory bread is made with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and a blend of herbs and spices that give it a unique and flavorful taste.

To make this Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Focaccia, you will need the following ingredients:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

To start, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Next, add the sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper to the dough. Knead the dough again for a few minutes, until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the dough in a greased baking dish and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Use your fingers to make dimples in the top of the dough, then drizzle it with olive oil. Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
This Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Focaccia is perfect for serving as an appetizer or as a side dish with your favorite Italian meal. The bread has a soft and chewy texture, with bursts of flavor from the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.
