-
In a small bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, tomato paste, olive oil, and the yeast mixture. Mix well to form a dough.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet.

Flatten the dough into a rectangle shape and press the cherry tomato halves into the dough.
-
Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves, garlic powder, and dried oregano over the top of the dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
