Submitted by Geema

"This is a quick bread with a beautiful color and tangy taste, eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love it toasted with a poached egg on top."

This was great. I love the mix of flavors. It really kicked up a plain sandwich but then I cubed some and fried it in butter with a bit of garlic - some of the best croutons you've ever eaten. They were awesome.

A really good bread. I pureed my own tomatoes - just remove the seeds first so it's not too liquidy. Try adding some chopped jalapenos or chipotle chili powder for a kick.

I told my son (age 8) that I had some canned tomatoes to use up. So he suggested we come to recipezaar and I showed him how to sort by ingredient. He chose to make bread and this is the one that came up for which we had all the ingredients. He opted for a little less dill but otherwise we left everything as written. Some people loved the dill flavor, others thought it was too much. But my son loved it, and since he's the one who made it and he's my picky kid, that's a big thumbs up from us!
