Tomato Bread

By: Dolores Skrout 
"With tomato juice and Parmesan cheese, this bread tastes like a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. I often top slices without favorite pizza toppings for a unique snack."

Original Recipe Yield 32 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
  • 2 cups warm tomato juice (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 6 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the tomato juice, ketchup, Parmesan cheese, sugar, butter, salt, basil, oregano and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours. Punch dough down. Divide in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
