Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
5 to 6 cups bread flour
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
3 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, sugar, oil, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in cheese, tomatoes, basil, pepper sauce and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2

Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
3

Punch down dough. Divide in half and shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°.
4

Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
