Tomato Herb Bread

"This savory bread is great with soups or pasta dishes! The recipe came from a cookbook called "Stand By Your Pan: Country Music Cookbook" by Diane Pfeifer. Her funny alternative country-music-inspired title for the recipe is "Bread River Valley" :)"

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Parmesan cheese. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg, oil, honey, parsley, basil and tomatoes.
  • Pour the tomato mixture into the flour mixture and stir until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle poppy seeds over the top (if using).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

  1. This was delicious! I make my own marinara sauce. After cooking my tomatoes for a couple of hours, I press them through a strainer. I am then left with quite a bit of tomato "mash" that wouldn't push through the strainer. I didn't want to waste it so I looked for a recipe that I can use it in. The liquid had been removed from the tomatoes so I had to add in some water to be able to use my leftover tomatoes. It worked perfectly! I'm going to make this again! I omitted the poppyseeds, but I'm sure that would've been wonderful also!

  2. Followed the recipe exactly (with the exception of poppy seeds) and served with Recipe #265727. It had a moist quick bread texture. Not sure if it was the tomatoes I used or what but it was a little bland for our taste. Wonder what some sun dried tomatoes might add to it.
     
  3. Lots of flavor and no butter needed! This is moist, dense bread that is packed with wonderful flavors from the tomatoes and basil. I made one very minor change in that I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour four one of the 3 cups of flour, my crushed tomatoes were the fire roasted ones with garlic. Did use the poppy seed option and think Everything Topping #421678 would be excellent on this simple yet tasty bread. This is something we will be enjoying again, thanks for the post.
     
  4. Loved this bread! It's almost too beautiful to eat, but we managed somehow! The flavors are incredible and it was so easy to make. Can't wait to wow some guests with it and share it with my friends. Definitely going into my Best of 2013 cookbook. Made for the Best of 2012 tag.
     
  5. This was so good! Easy to make and very flavourful. Added some crushed garlic but otherwise made as stated. Since I had just bought poppy seeds I used that to sprinkle over the bread. Indeed, this was a huge hit and will certainly be made again.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for PAC, Autumn 2012.
