I was reading through an old recipe book that I bought at the thrift store and saw this recipe for Bacon Bread.
Our family loves all things bacon. Â If it wasn’t so expensive I think we might even declare bacon as a food group. Â Anyway, I wanted to give it a try. Â (Ignore the picture of my oven. Â My true confession is the reason I can get so much sewing done is that I ignore my oven-no joke) Â Anyway…it made a really thick batter.
…and baked, it turned out like this….
The family consensus was…it was okay. Â We tried to eat it as it but I don’t think it’s meant to be eaten like this. Â I think it’s meant to be a dipping bread kind of like beer bread is. Â With a good creamy dip, I think I’d like it much better. Â As is, it was a little plain. Â I’m not running out and making copies of the recipe but I’ll likely try it again when I make some type of dip.
Anyone care to chime in and let us know if you make a bread like this and if you serve it with a dip? Â Inquiring minds would like to know.
What about Maple syrup as a dipping sauce.
Could you use the bread to make French Toast? With maple syrup it would be sweet and savory.
My family loves bacon, also! I was very excited to find a recipe for Bacon Muffins with almost the same ingredients! When I made the muffins my family was not impressed!
Forgot to mention we tried putting strawberry jam & some even added butter with the jam on the Bacon Muffins & the muffins were still just too flavorless & boring. In fact one family member asked if I had left out any ingredients when making the muffins.
How about adding some cheddar cheese?
I was excited to read it was “Bacon Bread” but sad to see it wasn’t well received! :( I like the idea of adding cheese, that might up the flavor. Using it for French toast was also interesting.
