Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette Calories

To make Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette, fold chopped sun-dried tomatoes and pitted olives into baguette dough near the end of kneading. This helps keep the pieces distinct instead of crushing them throughout the dough.

Serve Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette with soup, a salad, or a cheese board. Its savory tomato-and-olive flavor also works well with olive oil for dipping, so it can be served as a simple appetizer.

Store Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette at room temperature in a paper bag or bread box. Paper helps preserve its crust; a sealed plastic bag keeps the bread softer but can make the crust lose its crispness.

Yes, Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette freezes well. Slice it first, seal the slices in a freezer-safe bag, and take out only what you need. Briefly warming thawed slices in the oven helps revive the crust.

Yes, Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette can be toasted. Its flavorful pieces make good toast with a mild cheese or a little olive oil; keep an eye on it because thin baguette slices toast quickly.

Yes, drain oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes and pat them dry before adding them to Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette dough. Rehydrate very dry tomatoes if needed, then drain them well so excess moisture does not make the dough sticky.

Mild cheeses such as mozzarella, provolone, or young cheddar pair well with Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette. Their gentle flavor balances the concentrated tomato and salty olives without competing with them.

Yes, Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette makes a flavorful sandwich bread. Fill it with grilled vegetables, chicken, or mild cheese, and go lightly on salty condiments because the olives already bring a savory, salty note.

Usually, add salt to the dough cautiously when making Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Baguette, because olives and some preserved tomatoes are already salty. Taste the fillings before deciding how much salt the dough needs.
