Everyone in my family (aside from my vegetarian) loves bacon so I work bacon into a lot of recipes. You might remember my BLT appetizer cups. With two pounds of bacon on hand from my recent review of ClubsGalore, I decided to bake a loaf of bacon bread.
Ingredients For Making Bacon Bread
The recipe is a simple one and only calls for a few ingredients. Pictured below are all of the ingredients.
Only A Few Steps To Make Bacon Bread
To make the bread, you just have to cook and crumble the bacon, combine the dry ingredients, combine the wet ingredients, and then mix everything together. It all gets poured in a loaf pan and baked for 45 minutes. See? Pretty easy.
This makes a nice treat for Dad on Father’s Day, either as part of his breakfast that day or as a gift from the kids. The recipe is easy enough for even the most novice of bakers to make.
