Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 pkg active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel

Directions
  1. Lightly grease large bowl and 2 9x5x3 inch loaf pans with olive oil.

  5. Pour in tomato mixture and beat thoroughly for 3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add remaining 3 to 3-1/2 cup flour, mixing by hand if necessary until it holds together enough to turn out onto floured surface.

Wonderful hi 5!


This bread is so good! Use to have it in a bakery I worked at and it always reminded me of pizza. Would be great with spaghetti too.
