Cheese and Bacon Toast

                                          Soft, fluffy, peppery, tasty savoury bread.
                                          Good to go on its own or use it as sandwich bread.

fry until fragrant, drain out excess oil
well-risen dough
ready to get baked
  Method ( with alterations)
  1.  Bacon cut into small pieces, fry until fragrant over low heat. Remove from heat, drain excess oil away. Add in black pepper, let it cool for later use.

  2.  Mix all ingredients B, bring everything together as a rough dough.  Now add in unsalted butter, give it a quick mix. Cover and leave for 10 minute.  Gentle knead for 10 seconds, cover and leave for another 10 minutes.  Do twice more for the 10 minute interval.  Cover and let it rise for about 80 minute.

  3.  Punch down air, roll it into a ball, let it rest for 10 minutes.

  4.  Roll out into rectangle shape of 20cm long, width 15cm,  roll it up like a swiss roll, let it take second rise for about 50 minutes.

  5.  When dough rise to 90% to the top of the loaf pan, spread evenly the onion slices, pizza cheeses and last, the black pepper.

 6.  Bake at 180C for about 30 minutes ( I placed a pan filled with boiling water on the lowest shelf of the oven throughout the baking).
