This tomato swirl bread is a recipe I created several years ago. I took a recipe for tomato bread and combined it with a recipe for plain bread — perfection!

Tomato swirl bread is a recipe that I came up with a couple of years ago. I love tomato soup and toasted cheese, I mean who doesn't, right?

Well this bread is the perfect bread for the toasted cheese sandwiches that you dunk into the soup...It is also fantastic with tomato sandwiches and anything else you want to make. I originally posted this in 2007 and I need to update the images....In the meantime give this a try...it really is good.

      I love this recipe along with the past several I’ve tried from your blog this week. Your directions are incredibly easy to follow (I’ve had my 4 year old in the kitchen learning all week). I love your little articles before each recipe. They’re long enough I enjoy reading them and getting the personality through your recipes but not so long I forgot what I was even making. 🙂 Great recipe and great site!
