How to Make Mediterranean Stuffed Bread
- **Prepare the Dough:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon honey.
- Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast over the water mixture.
- Let stand for 10 minutes until frothy.
- Stir in 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup semolina flour, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until soft and slightly sticky, adding more flour as needed.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- **Prepare the Filling:** Cover 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes with boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes to soften. Drain and chop.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Assemble the Bread:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a 16x9 inch rectangle.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a cylinder.
- Pinch the seam to seal.
- Flatten the loaf slightly and pinch the ends to seal.
- **Prepare for Baking:** Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle semolina flour on a baking sheet.
- Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the loaf with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and pat gently into the dough.
- Cover loosely and let rise for another 45 minutes until almost doubled.
- **Bake:** Bake on the lowest rack of the oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
