Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 400 g strong white bread flour
- 20 g butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 280 ml water
- 50 g cooked bacon chopped into 5mm cubes
- 50 g cheese chopped into 5mm cubes
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to the bread maker tin, in the order above, apart from the bacon and cheese (for larger loaves, please see the notes below).
- Add the cooked bacon to the seperate dispenser.
- Set the bread maker off on menu 4 and pick the 'M' size. Choose your preferred crust colour. The program takes about 4 hours.
- The cheese needs to be added when the machine beeps (I think this was after about 1 hour).
- When the bread maker is finished, carefully remove the baking tin from the bread maker and slide out the cooked loaf on to a wire rack to allow it to cool before slicing.

Side note: When I make this bread again I will probably try it with bacon lardons rather than chopped rashers of bacon. I will also grate the cheese rather than chop it into chunks so that it melts and integrates better, and I’ll also slightly increase the amount of bacon and cheese.
