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

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough starts to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.

Step 8

Brush the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano evenly over the surface.

Step 9

Evenly distribute the crumbled vegetarian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions over the dough.

Step 10

Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Step 11

Place the rolled dough seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the log without cutting all the way through.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Bacon Cheese Bread!
