Add the warm water and egg to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.

Add an additional 1-¾ cups of flour and mix until dough pulls away from the sides and creates a soft ball. Add the chopped sun dried tomatoes.

On a floured surface, knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and elastic, around 5 minutes. Let the dough rest on counter for an additional 5 minutes.

Place the dough on a greased sheet pan and roll out into a 12 inch round disk. Cover the dough loosely with greased plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm area until dough is light and doubled in size, about 30-35 minutes.

With your fingers or handle of wooden spoon, create ¾” deep holes every inch in the top of the dough.
