Italian Herb Tomato Bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F.  Grease an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Stir in the egg, oil, and milk, followed by the grated cheese.  The batter will be very thick.

Step 3

Combine the chopped garlic, tomatoes, basil, and oregano in a food processor.  Using a series of 10-15 one-second pulses, chop the tomatoes and garlic until no large pieces remain, but mixture is not completely smooth.

Step 4

Fold the tomato and garlic mixture into the batter.  Resulting batter will still be thick, but should be fully moist. If dry patches of flour remain, stir in an additional 2-3 tablespoons of milk. If batter is quite wet, stir in an additional 2-3 tablespoons of flour.

Step 5

Pour (scoop) the batter into the prepared loaf pan.  Bake 45-50 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to continue cooling.  Enjoy while still warm.
