Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 vegetarian bacon strips
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
While the dough is rising, prepare the vegetarian bacon by cooking it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, crumble the bacon strips and set aside.
After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.
Brush the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano evenly over the surface.
Evenly distribute the crumbled vegetarian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions over the dough.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Place the rolled dough seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the log without cutting all the way through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Bacon Cheese Bread!
