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 easy “mix and bake” bread recipes.  Bacon and Cheese bread with yeast ? Nope, I totally dislike working with yeast !

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.

Bacon and Cheese Bread Serving Ideas :

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.

And when you do not have bacon on hand, make a Ham and Cheese Bread by simply using the same amount of deli Ham in the recipe.
