---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02 Title: Tomato Bread W/herbs Categories: Sun-dried, Breads, Wrv Yield: 1 servings --------------------------WALDINE VAN GEFFEN VC42A-------------------------- 2 c Tomato juice 1/2 c Canned tomato sauce 2 tb Olive oil 6 c All-purpose flour; to 6-1/2 2 pk Active dry yeast 3 tb Brown sugar 1 ts Salt 3/4 ts Dried oregano 1/2 ts Dried basil 1/4 ts Ground rosemary 1/4 ts Ground fennel 1/4 ts Freshly ground pepper 2 sm Cloves garlic; crushed Lightly grease large bowl and two 9x5x3" loaf pans with olive oil. Set aside. In small saucepan, heat tomato juice, sauce and 2 tb olive oil to 120 . In large mixer bowl, combine 3 cups flour with yeast and remaining ingredients. Pour in tomato mixture and beat thoroughly for 3 minutes. Gradually add remaining 3 to 3-1/2 c flour, mixing by hand if necessary until it holds together enough to turn out onto floured surface. The dough is quite sticky and you may need to add a tad more flour, but don't add an excessive amount or you will have a dry bread. Knead about 5 minutes until dough smooths out. Place dough in greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, let rest 15 minutes, the shape into 2 loaves and place in prepared pans. Cover pans and let dough rise an additional 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 375 . Bake loaves 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake 30 to 40 minutes more. Bread is done when loaves sound hollow when thumped with knuckle. Tip loaves out immediately onto wire racks to cool. Source: Heartland by Marcia Adams. (wrv) -----
