A Very tasty quick Bacon and Cheese Bread recipe which can be served as a snack or as an addition to a savory party platter – stuffed with bacon and cheese !
By now you should know I love “mix and bake” bread recipes. Still haven’t used the Breadmaker!
This awesome Bacon and Cheese Bread can be baked in a regular loaf pan or, as I sometimes do, in a round cake pan.
The bread has a slightly sweet taste, but that makes it all the more of a (unexpected!) taste sensation.
I found the recipe for this in my Springbok Kitchen cookbook which I bought many years ago.
What is more, it is a recipe by Bakkies Botha ! I hear you, no idea who he is ? Right, then you are not a Rugby fan.
That is totally okay, but I am, as I have mentioned a few times before, A HUGE SUPPORTER ! And Bakkies did not only play for the Blue Bulls (my provincial team), but he played for the Springboks for many years.
Anyhow, I made this bread a couple of times already and the recipe has never failed me once.
We normally enjoy the bread slightly warm with only a pat of butter. Nothing else is needed as the bread is so tasty. And the perfect snack !
The Bacon and Cheese Bread can also be served alongside a cheese platter. And when baked in a round pan, cut into small cubes or triangles and add to your savory party platter.
Even when baked in a bread pan, you can slice the bread any way you prefer. Traditionally sliced, as I have today, is absolutely not necessary.

Dried parsley would be just fine, Bill. The bread will of course not look exactly the same as with fresh garlic, but other than that it will be ok. See my Herb and Cheese Bread where I have used dried parsley.

What if you don’t have quick rising flour can you add baking powder? Or any other substitution ?

Teresa you can use 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, mixed with 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder mixed together instead. Then follow the recipe as per the card
