Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 pieces Bacon slices
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat the warm water, milk, and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot (about 110°F).
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Flatten the kneaded dough slightly, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped rosemary (if using) over it.
Step 7
Fold the dough over the bacon and rosemary, and knead just enough to incorporate them evenly throughout the dough.
Step 8
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 10
Punch down the risen dough, then shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 11
Cover the loaf with a cloth again and let it rise for another 30 minutes until it has puffed up.
Step 12
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 13
Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
