Ingredients
2 1/4 tsp. (one packet) dry yeast
2 1/8 cups water
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
5 cups flour
8 hot dogs or sausages
10 cherry tomatoes
1 jar capers
1 tsp. kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, oil and flour to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough well.
Step 2
Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
Step 3
Grease a roasting pan with oil or line with parchment paper. Place half the dough into the pan and press firmly to spread the dough evenly across in the pan.
Step 4
Add the hot dogs or sausages and cover with the remaining dough.
Step 5
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, make small holes in the top of the dough with your finger and push the halved tomatoes into them.
Step 6
Pour the olive oil over the bread, cover with the capers and salt.
Step 7
Set aside to rise for another 30 – 40 minutes.
Step 8
Bake the bread in the oven at 400ºF for about 25-30 minutes.
Step 9
Let cool for 10 minutes and divide into pieces to serve.
You can substitute bratwurst or spicy sausages for the hot dogs in the recipe for a little different flavor.
