Meat Bread

I love bread, any kind, it doesn't matter. One thing better than bread, is bread with bacon in it. I make my own bread, but you can use the pre-made dough you find in the grocers freezer.



Here is an easy meat bread recipe:

Yeah, it tastes as good as it looks!

Ingredients:

I frozen bread dough

2c Cheddar Cheese 

3 Jalapenos chopped

6 strips of bacon - cooked/chopped

1 Egg white for brushing.

Directions:

•  Let the dough rise one time using the directions on the package
• Once it has risen, usually it's double in size, turn out onto counter and roll to about a 1 1/2in thickness.
• Add the cheese, jalapenos and bacon and kneed to incorporate all the ingredients into the bread, but don't over kneed. NO BUENO!
• To form a loaf, pat the dough into a rectangle, fold the long sides to the middle then fold under the ends. Pinch the seams closed.
• Place in a greased (I just spray w/ Pam) loaf pan. Cover w/plastic and let rise again. Bout 30 min.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 and prepare a water bath. When baking bread loafs you should always bake it in a water bath. Makes the crust nice and crispy w/o burning it.
• When bread has risen for the second time slice the top so steam can escape and brush with egg white.
• Water Bath - when bread is ready for the oven, put the loaf pan in a larger pan that is about 2-3 inches deep and with room on the sides to fill 3/4 of the way with boiling water. Don't put the water into the bottom pan until you have it on the oven rack. Otherwise you can really burn yourself.
• Bake about 35-40 minutes(middle rack), until bread is golden brown.



I like mine with an egg over easy!
