A fabulous swirled bread that I adapted from an old recipe for tomato bread. It is impressive to look at, makes great sandwiches and tastes like toast dipped in tomato soup

How to make it
- DOUGH 1
- Soften yeast in water.
- Heat tomato sauce, butter, and ketchup and let cool to lukewarm. Add sugar, cloves, salt and yeast mixture to tomato mixture and mix in enough flour to make a soft but kneadable dough (or mix according to mixer directions).
- Turn out and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Oil and set aside to rise.
- DOUGH 2
- Soften yeast in 1/4 c water with sugar.
- TO other 1 1/4 c water add butter until butter melts (you may need to microwave it and let cool to luke warm).
- Add salt and yeast mixture
- add flour until you get a soft, kneadable dough…
- proceed as above.
- Let balls of dough rise until double-about 1 1/2 hours.
- punch down and knead lightly…
- cut each ball of dough into 2 equal pieces.
- Let rest 10 minutes.
- Roll each ball out into a rectangle of equal sizes.
- Place a tomato dough rectangle on top of a whole wheat rectangle and roll up tightly pinching dough together at bottom to seal.
- Repeat with other loaf.
- Let rise in greased bread pans for 1 hour or until double
- Bake at 375 for30 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped…Let cool if you can.

Very impressive and super nice when toasted with a sharp cheddar as an open face sandwich. Shame to cover the swirl, but the flavor was a match made in heaven.
