How To Make cheddar bacon bread

  • 1
    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease two 5 x 9 loaf pans.
  • 2
    In a large frying pan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain excess grease on paper towels. Cut strips up into bite size pieces.
  • 3
    In a large mixing bowel, sift salt, baking soda and flour together.
  • 4
    With your fingers, combine 2 tbsp. of butter until thoroughly combined. It should look like sand. Stir in cheese and bacon until well mixed. Add buttermilk until dough just comes together.
  • 5
    Divid dough evenly between both loaf pans. Smooth tops of dough. With a knife, cut a thin slice down the center of each loaf. Thinly slice remaining butter and put in the slices, using more if needed.
  • 6
    Bake until tops are golden brown and a tester comes out clean, approximately 25 - 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy! :o)
