This recipe for Fresh Tomato Bread will go great with any meal. This bread is good toasted with butter, too. We seem to always have an abundance of garden tomatoes and this bread is one of our summer favorites. The oregano seasoning with the cheddar cheese and tomatoes is such a hit! If you have extra tomatoes you will also love this Southern Tomato Pie!
Fresh Tomato Bread Simple Ingredients Needed:
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Oregano
Black pepper
Salt
Butter
Eggs
Sour cream
Buttermilk
Mayonnaise or salad dressing
Onion
Tomatoes
Shredded cheddar cheese
I have not tried this bread any other way other than the recipe nor have I tried freezing it. I had an abundance of ripe tomatoes and just came up with the recipe I have now made it a few times. If your tomatoes are really juicy, you might try draining some of the juice before adding to the recipe. I have also used onion flakes instead of chopped onion and it worked well too. I also use Duke’s Mayonnaise when I make this bread.
To easily remove the peeling from tomatoes submerge in boiling water for 15 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon. Skins will slip right off.
For a real treat, make our homemade pimento cheese and enjoy it on this bread!
“The fresh tomato bread was wonderful! I used fresh store bought tomatoes because it’s still too early for garden grown in my area. Can’t wait to try this again! Thanks so much!” – Cathy
“I just made this today! Doubled the recipe to use up as many of the fresh tomatoes as I could. I made a normal sized bread loaf pan size and 4 mini loaves, and still had enough left for 6 muffin size too! The bread is delicious! So fresh tasting, a great way to use the fresh tomatoes everyone is giving us lately! Thanks so much for the recipe!” – Jeanne
