I added my favorite herbs to another recipe to create this savory tomato loaf. For extra flavor, I serve it with a garlic chive spread my family loves. In fact, my sister confiscated all the leftovers at our last gathering! Slices of this moist bread also make great grilled cheese sandwiches. -Sherry Letson, Trinity, Alabama

Time 3h15m

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of the tomatoes you use will greatly impact the taste of your bread. Choose vine-ripened tomatoes that are bright red and juicy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the bread. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. If the dough is too cold, it will not rise properly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.

Conclusion:

Herbed tomato cheese bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and parties. The bread is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. You can add different herbs, cheeses, and vegetables to create a unique and flavorful bread that everyone will love.
