seeking tomato/basil bread...

just had a friend request a tomato basil bread...she tasted one from a bakery a while back and wondered if I'd be game to try to make one (of course:)  Anybody out there made anything like this lately?  She also mentioned it was somewhat the texture of french bread, with tomatoes, basil and also some cheddar...she said it looked a bit marbled from the cheese?.....it would be fun to hear if anybody has some ideas for me....

 I make a tomatoe, basil and cheese pie with a buttermilk crust,  it's very nice.

 I also have recipe for tomatoe bread, also nice. Although I have never done it but it would be worth a try to put basil and cheese in it.....

 will try it next time I bake..... qahtan

I made tomato basil parmesan bagels before.  Dice up about an ounce of sun dried tomatoes and 1 teaspoon basil per pound of flour.  I put the cheese on as a topping for the bagels, no idea how they would work in the bread.
