MMMMMMM!!! This bread is hard to resist once you eat your first slice... such an incredible, fun flavor! Definitely reminiscent of pizza with the flavors of basil and oregano bursting into each bite. Other than using V8 veg juic in place of regular tomato juice, I follwed this exactly...using just over 6 cups of flour. It baked perfectly in just under 30 minutes. I can't wait to wait at least a few more minutes to go for another slice... even plain! This one is a keeper!! --Also, reminds me of the Tomato Basil bread at Panera. ENJOY!!

I was looking for a recipe to use a multitude of home-grown tomatoes. When I realized I had tomato juice that needed using too, I couldn't resist. I followed naples' bread machine directions and baked in the oven. The whole house smelled wonderful! I especially enjoyed this bread toasted with a smidge of cream cheese. Thank you for sharing, I'll be making this again!

Looking over the recipe, I expected to like this, but little did I know just how much I would! I tweaked this a little to suit not only personal taste preferences but also to adapt the measurements to my bread machine for a 1-1/2 pound loaf - I basically halved the recipe but with some modifications. I used 3 c. bread flour for the all-purpose, mainly because I wasn't paying attention, and 1-1/2 tsp. yeast. I eliminated the water altogether and substituted olive oil for the butter, using 2 tablespoons. Also, 1 c. tomato juice and 2 T. ketchup. Because I don't like my bread too sweet and didn't want it to over rise in the bread machine, I only used 2 tsp. sugar along with 1-1/2 tsp. salt and 2 T. Parmesan cheese. I used fresh chopped basil, a good teaspoonful, along with 1/4 tsp. of dried oregano, although using more of each next time wouldn't hurt. I used the French bread setting on the bread machine. This bread is awesome good, almost reminiscent of a pizza flavor! Fragrant, moist and colorful, this is great on it's own, but I can't wait to make a grilled mozzarella cheese sandwich with it!

Very good. I really liked this--tastes very much like tomatoes. :o) Makes me happy. Bf likes it as well, so it's a keeper. It bakes up to look rustic, which I really like. I think it would do well as a french loaf as well as a regular loaf. Will try that next time. Thanks for the recipe!

Fragrant, beautiful, silky! My changes: fresh oregano and Just Tomatoes dried tomatoes through the food processor, mixed with tomato sauce (instead of juice) added onion powder and garlic salt. Excellent recipe!

A very fragrant bread with a beautiful color! I thought it needed additional basil and oregano. I'll use fresh herbs this summer. I didn't add any salt because the tomato juice has plenty. I'll be making this again. Makes delicious cheese sandwiches.
