how to make totally incredible tomato basil bread
In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in the water. Then add all of the ingredients and 2 cups of flour, mix well.
Add some more flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 4 minutes until you get an elastic dough.
Grease a large bowl and place the dough in it and turn it to grease all the dough so it doesnt dry out.
Cover the bowl and place on a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
Punch down dough and knead for about 1 minute.
Place on a lightly greased baking sheet in your desired shape and let rise until doubled or an hour.
With a very sharp knife, cut an X in the middle if you made it round.
Bake in an oven at 375°F for 35-40 minutes or until brown (dont over cook).
Let chill for a few minutes or use hot. Perfect for a delicious capresse sandwich.
