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.

This receipe is much like the bacon bread I buy at my local Farmer’s Market. Their bread includes cheese. I wonder how your receipe would turn out if I added a small amount of cheese.
I think adding cheese to it is a great idea! You’ll have to try it and come back and let us know how it turned out.
This recipe is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! It’s fun to come up with different combinations of food that you wouldn’t normally think of.
Everything taste better with bacon, eh?
