RECIPE NOTES

When there are only a few ingredients in a recipe, each one should be carefully chosen. Not only should the tomatoes be perfectly ripe, but the bread should be of the highest quality. A local baker should be able to provide a vegan multigrain loaf or an Italian-style roll to complement this recipe.
