Hunt'S®-Man Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
    1 cup Hunt's(R) Diced Tomatoes, drained, chopped
    1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
    1 teaspoon cumin
    5 ounces chopped prosciutto
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 pinch nutmeg
    4 eggs, beaten
    3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    olive oil
Preparation
    Combine warm water and yeast. Let sit until mixture starts to foam, about 5 minutes.
    Mix tomatoes, cheese, cumin, prosciutto, and rosemary together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
    Mix flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together in a separate large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add tomato mixture, eggs, butter, yeast. Mix until mixture pulls from the sides. Dough will be sticky with a soft texture.
    Lightly flour a work surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, adding more floor as needed to keep it from sticking to the work surface, about 10 minutes.
    Oil bottom and sides of a clean bowl. Place dough in bowl and cover with clean cloth or towel 2 hours. Punch down and let rest 10 minutes.
    Lightly oil a baking sheet. Shape dough into round loaf and place on sheet. Cover until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Bake bread in preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool on a rack to room temperature.
