  1. My little spritzer bottle seems to have run away from home so I couldn't spray the bread and didn't get the right crust. But it's a lovely bread. The marbeling color is the water I soaked the dry toms in (I don't have the oil packed ones). It's amazing with Balsamic and oilve oil for dipping. Also a bit of the bread with a bite fresh cherry or strawberry tomato's. It bakes up very nicely and is a pleasure to eat. Thank you Khah, can't wait to try some of your others.
