This Caprese Bread makes a wonderful snack or breakfast. It’s made with savory flavors of a classic Caprese salad and ready in about an hour. No-yeast, just moist, soft bread made with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Savory quick breads are great for snacks or to serve with dinner. Try this Bacon and Cheese Quick bread in a sandwich or along side of your favorite dinner. If you prefer sweet quick breads, this Coconut Key Lime Bread will not disappoint.

CAPRESE BREAD

I’ve been wanting to make a savory version of quick bread for so long now and finally got around to it. I’m not a fan of cooking with yeast so making a savory quick bread seemed like a great idea. Not that there is anything wrong with yeast, I just feel too lazy to spend hours making bread.

Spring is here and everyone is thinking about gardening, fresh herbs, and vegetables. Caprese salad is a perfect example of a beautiful spring and summer dish. It’s light and fresh tomatoes and basil are so good combines with Mozzarella cheese.

I like to bring that flavor combination into other dishes as well. Besites the classic Caprese salad, Caprese pizza and grilled cheese are some of my favorite ways to incorporate those flavors. Now, this bread is by far the best things I’ve made with Caprese flavors.

HOW TO USE CAPRESE BREAD

If you don’t scarf it down all by itself, then this bread makes a nice snack or a side with your dinner.

This bread is also wonderful to use with sandwiches. Try making a BLT sandwich with this bread or an Italian sandwich with ham, salami, and pepperoni.

This is a little different, but you can slide the bread and cut it into 1/2 inch cubes. Toast it in the oven for a few minutes and add them to a salad. This bread makes wonderful croutons.

    This looks delicious! Just one question – for the sun-dried tomatoes, should we use actual dry tomatoes (the kind that typically come in a bag or package) or jarred (packed in oil)? I have both, but have only ever baked with the oil-packed kind. Just want to make sure!
