I had my reservations on this one when it popped up on my YouTube but it made me curious so I watched the video and decided to at least give it a try and boy was I glad I did.

The hardest part was having to wait until today to eat it because it has to sit in the fridge overnight before you can cut it.

It’s delicious, dense and not overly sweet. In the video he toasted and put butter on it. That’s how we had it this morning with our coffee.

Apizza started as flat bread in Naples until the plum tomatoes grown in the volcanic soils of San Marzano sul Sarno (near Vesuvius) were combined with Mozzarella and basil.
Later these "tomato pies" hit the East Coast in the early 1900's (with a wave of Italian immigrants) and BAM! it was on like Donkey Kong baby!
Our county has a "Pink Tomato Festival" as the major (only) festival celebrating what was for decades one of the top two industries - growing tomatoes. Bradley county became famous for a variety, "Bradley" (actually named after the breeder's father), develop at the U of Arkansas from the Arkansas Traveler and Gulf State tomatoes and released in 1961. I spent 5 summers working in commercial tomato fields, I can't convey how much fun that was
Bradley's are excellent slicers with outstanding flavor - perfect for one of my favorite summer guilty pleasures - BLTs! Bread + Tomato + Bacon (and like Miracle Whip), outstanding and I could eat them all day long!
Then there's cornbread versus Mexican Cornbread (not even close)
Seems like bread and tomatoes are a match made in Heaven.

I had tomato bun before but more like a stuffing than bake in. Don't think I ve tried a tomato loaf.

The Bradley is it determinate or indeterminate? Where can I order seeds?Apizza started as flat bread in Naples until the plum tomatoes grown in the volcanic soils of San Marzano sul Sarno (near Vesuvius) were combined with Mozzarella and basil.
