2 cups tomato juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Add tomato mixture and yeast to 3 cups flour. Beat with mixer at medium speed for two minutes. Add remaining flour a little at a time to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl and let rise until double. Punch down and divide in half. Shape into two loaves and place in greased pans.
Let rise again until almost double. Bake at 425ºF. oven for 25-30 minutes and cover after 10 minutes with aluminum foil to keep from getting too brown.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen. Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
