Swiss twisted bread with sun dried tomatoes

Swiss twisted bread with sun dried tomatoes

I already announced on my FB-page, that my next post will be about that fantastic bread. I had saved the recipe for quite a long time and was just waiting for the right moment to bake it. I found it here (in German language) and it was advertised as the perfect bread for braais (BBQ). Last Saturday we were invited for a braai and I thought, it's the ideal time to give it a try. That way I also had a small present. 

I halved the ingredients as I thought it would be too much. Well, stupid me, I didn't expect the bread to be that good and I ended up baking the next day again.
I knew, I took a risk baking a bread I never did before, especially because it took me longer then I thought and the bread was just ready as we had to drive. But the recipe was described  as  easy to make, so I thought I will take my chance.
Luckily I had sour dough in my fridge. I wasn't sure if I can still use it, as I've made it month ago. But all went well and the bread turned out "divine" as my friends remarked. And it has been proven, that my sour dough turned out nice and potent, so I "fed" it with 100 g flour and 100 g lukewarm water immediately in order to make sure, I can use it again. I read in bread baking forums, that people use their sour doughs or mother doughs for 20! years by only feeding them on a regular base. That's so spectacular.

Beside that, I think the fact, that all the herbs and the tomatoes were home grown, made the bread even more special.
