Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding olives or artichokes to the dough mixture. If you don't have feta cheese, goat cheese or mozzarella can serve as a suitable substitute. Make sure to finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes for even distribution in the bread. For added flavor, try using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil instead of dry ones.
