Prep Time: 25 minBaking Time: 35-40 min
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 500g packet white bread mix
- Flour, for dusting
- 280g mixed pepper antipasto, drained
- 175g Sundried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and oil reserved
- 150g mozzarella balls, drained and diced
- 100g marinated pitted Kalamata olives
- Large handful fresh basil leaves
PREPARATION DIRECTIONS:
-
1.Make up the bread mix according to the packet instructions, kneading until smooth. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 40 x 30cm rectangle.

2.Scatter over the peppers, tomatoes, mozzarella, olives and basil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil from the tomatoes. Roll up the dough quite tightly from a short end until the filling is enclosed. Brush a large baking sheet with oil and arrange the loaf seam-side-down on top. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes to rise slightly. Push a skewer right through the centre of the loaf to the baking sheet to make a hole for steam to escape during cooking. Brush with more oil from the tomatoes and scatter with rock salt and coarsely crushed black peppercorns.

3.Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Remove the bread from the oven and set aside on a wire rack for 15 minutes to cool slightly. Serve the bread warm or cold, cut into slices.
