Author's Notes

Yields 1 loaf of bread.

150g bacon can be changed to other ingredients: A. 30g dried cranberries, 60g cream cheese, 60g roasted walnuts (walnut and cheese bread). B. 75g pitted and chopped black olives, 50g drained sun-dried tomatoes (sun-dried tomato and olive bread).

To check first fermentation is complete (once the dough is double in size), use a floured finger plug in the middle of the dough. If the hole doesn’t shrink then it's ready, if the dough collapses then it has been over-proofed.

To check final fermentation is complete (once the dough is doubled in size), use a floured finger to touch the bottom edge of the dough side very gently. If the mark doesn’t bounce back then it's ready.

step 1
In a small bowl, mix Milk (1 1/3 cups) with Active Dry Yeast (1 2/3 Tbsp). Stir until combined. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
step 2
Put Salt (1 tsp), White Bread Mix (2 1/2 cups), and yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Turn on slow speed and mix to form a dough.
step 3
Then add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and mix for a further few minutes until all the oil is mixed in. Change to medium speed, mixing until dough is smooth and elastic.

Roll into a ball and place in a flat tray with nonstick baking paper. Sprinkle a little flour on top and cover with cling wrap loosely. Put the tray into oven shelf 3 (middle of the oven) and choose the "Dough Proving" program at 35 degrees C (95 degrees F) for 20 minutes and let it rise to double in size.

Punch down dough and roll out to a sheet. Evenly sprinkle Bacon (5.5 oz) on top of the dough and roll it into a stick shape then put it back in a flat tray. Sprinkle flour, and cover with cling wrap loosely.
