This tomato bread recipe was created to
accompany my chuck roast dinners. The moist insides and tasty tomato
flavor also makes this bread a perfect accompaniment to any pasta
dinner, such as spaghetti or lasagna. Makes one medium loaf.
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp shortening
- 1 package active dry yeast

- 3 oz tomato paste
- 2-1/4 cups bread flour

Cover and let set in warm place for about 1 hour or until double in
size.
