Tomato Bread
April 24th, 2009 by chuck

Well, as you can see I’m on this roasting kick these days. Everyone loves tomatoes in a sandwich, so why not place roasted tomatoes into the bread itself. I’m using these tasty trio-colored tomatoes. I cut them into wedges with a little crushed garlic, olive oil, thyme and freshly ground salt and pepper then roasted them in a 300 degree over for about 1 hour. This really intensifies the flavor and color of the tomatoes.

The bread is a perfect sandwich bread with a soft and delicious interior and a tasty crisp crust. I thought the addition of rye flour and the semolina would be a great accompaniment with the roasted tomatoes. The color of this bread is a light orange from the different colored tomatoes. It makes a wonderful and tasty bread with a slight tomato flavor that would make the best sandwiches for any summer lunch.

Fantastic shots! I can’t wait for my tomatoes this summer to bake into this bread. I think roasted garlic would be great with the tomatoes as well.

Another beauty!
Love the tomato flavors in bread!
Oh, I love this! My husband proposed to me over a loaf of Tomato Basil bread. ♥ I’ll have to make this!
Love tomato breads! This looks really really good!
Hey Chuck! Haven’t visited in a while. This looks great. I made a tomato basil bread a couple of weeks ago that I used for grilled cheese sandwiches. It was good, but it used canned tomatoes. I can only imagine what roasted tomatoes would have done to it! Delicious!
btw- the link to my site in your blogroll is a link to my old blog address. fyi if you’d like to change. Have a good weekend!
I like the subtle orange hue that the tomatoes give the bread. Great photos!
Oh Oh Oh…I wish I had more time this weekend to make this. This looks terrific and I am sure it would taste equally as good.
This is some incredibly sexy bread.
Just discovered your site, and I love your photography. This loaf looks fantastic. I might throw in some basil and try it this week!
Lovely texture of the bread.
Chuck, your blog is really really wonderful… from the professional photography, the unique ingredients, to every incredibly good-looking bread… I definitely would love to try one of your great recipes.
I’ve fallen in love with roasted tomatoes lately… I can imagine what wonderful sandwiches this bread would make! Simply delicious!
Never seen a tomato bread but this looks really like a great one. Beautiful pics.
this sounds amazing, will have to try sometime!
Hi I am going to try this and was just wondering what type of yeast you mean by ‘instant’. Is it fast-acting, easy-blend or active dried (or does it matter)? Thanks.
I want some of this…now! What a great idea.
wonderful idea!! I love roasting my tomatoes for salsa – gives it just another depth of flavor. And what’s not to love about bread??!!
Gosh the bread looks so delicious and what beautiful photos you took!
Wow! You take some amazing photos! Everything looks so incredible! Thanks for the all the great inspiration!
