"Bread is one of the oldest staples on earth and remains a beloved part of every meal, based on just how many types of bread exist. One way to upgrade a bread recipe is to add inclusions, and tomatoes are the unexpected fruit that will take bread to delicious new heights. Tomatoes come in numerous varieties, but they're all bursting with sweet, tangy umami, and baking will only serve to enhance these savory fruits."
"There are many ways to incorporate tomatoes into your bread recipe. If you're making a savory quick bread, for example, you can puree tomatoes and add them to the batter as a wet ingredient.

Tomatoes add sweet, tangy umami and moisture to breads, improving flavor and keeping loaves tender. Pureed tomatoes can serve as the wet ingredient in savory quick breads, while roasted cherry tomatoes work well folded into yeast doughs.

Store-bought dough can be enhanced by pressing in cherry tomatoes or rolling in tomato puree with herbs and garlic. A pound of tomatoes yields about two cups of puree, so other liquids like milk or buttermilk should be reduced accordingly.
