Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir to dissolve and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Gently deflate the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle of about 12x8 inches.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the rectangle of dough.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the longer side, and pinch the seams to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a greased baking pan.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter over the top of the loaf.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the buttered top for added flavor.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
