Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup Warm Water (110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 slices Bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
  • Green Onions (optional), chopped

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center for the yeast mixture.
  3. Combine and knead: Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the well and add melted butter. Stir until it forms a rough dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  5. Prepare the bacon and cheese: Cook bacon until crispy and chop. Shred cheese if not pre-shredded.
  6. Shape and fill: Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle. Sprinkle bacon and half the cheese. Roll it up like a log.
  7. Second rise: Place rolled dough seam down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Top with remaining cheese: After the second rise, sprinkle cheese on top.
  10. Bake: Slide into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Cool and enjoy: Let it cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

Slice and serve with butter, marinara, or cheese dip. Experiment with different cheese varieties or add herbs for flavor.
