So my kitchen is full of dried tomatoes. They recall in my mind summertime as I used to dry them with my grandmother.
I perfectly remember how much we care to get a result of excellent quality.
I miss those moments and those healthy flavours, but as I said, it’s easy to find everything within everybody’s reach.
For this recipe I am going to use sun-dried tomatoes Ciappa from Agriblea organic farm: a Sicilian company (www.pomodorisecchi.com) which produces and dries tomatoes according to tradition! I will use them to prepare simple and tasty muffins: try them, you won’t regret it!

Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix flour, potato starch and dried yeast.
- Slowly add oil and water and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Roughly chop sun-dried tomatoes and olives.
- Combine sun-dried tomatoes and olives with the mixture and stir it.
- Add some salt, do not overdo it. (Tomatoes are quite salty)
- Pour the mixture into muffin cutters and bake them in preheated oven at 180° C for about 25 minutes.

My advices:
- Add some pumpkin seeds to the dough; they are great!
