Directions
Tomato Basil Bread – by Hand or Bread Machine, This breads’ chewy crust pairs well with a steaming mug of soup. The pretty color and robust flavor are a great pairing with chicken or turkey cold cuts or a summer tomato sandwich. use this basic recipe in my bread machine using the dough cycle; following my bread machines instructions. I then bake it in the oven. I also omit the red pepper flakes and, at times, omit the Parmesan cheese and replace it with an additional 1/4 cup of flour. Be careful and add additional flour a little at a time depending on the humidity in your kitchen., Substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour for all whit bread flour, Tomatoe basil bread can it be made in a bread maker?
