Pour lukewarm water into a bowl and mix in sugar.
Sprinkle dry yeast on top. Set aside to activate. In a small saucepan,
heat 1 cup of water to 120 degrees. Add salt and oil. Remove. Add
1 1/2 cup of flour to the warm water. Stir in yeast mixture with a
wooden spoon. Continue to stir till dough becomes smooth. Add sun-dried
tomatoes, eggs, chives, garlic and cilantro. Place dough on a lightly
floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes. Add just enough of the
remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Place dough into a greased
bowl. Cover with plastic wrap till double. Punch down and let double
again. Punch down dough. Place dough on a lightly floured suface.
Cut dough in half and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Shape dough into
two round loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet. Cover again,
till double. Place bread into a pre-heated 375 F oven. Bake 40-45
min.
