Ingredients
-
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons sugar
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1.
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt, oregano, garlic powder, basil and rosemary. In a large saucepan, heat the tomato juice, tomato sauce and oil to 120°-130°, stirring occasionally. Add the dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into two loaves. Place in two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
