Tomato Basil Bread

This recipe came from a Quick Cooking magazine years ago.  It goes great with any Italian meal, soup, or salad.  I also like to make it on the dough setting, then roll it into breadsticks for a fun variation.


Ingredients:

• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• ¼ cup water (70∞ to 80∞)
• 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried minced onion
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 3 cups flour
• 1 ¾ teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions: 1. In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

Yield: 1 loaf (about 1-1/2 pounds)
