How to Make Bacon Casserole Bread

  1. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the scalded milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  4. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it to the cooled milk mixture.
  5. Add 1 large beaten egg to the mixture.
  6. Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour, mixing with a stand mixer on low speed until just combined.
  7. Beat with the stand mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  8. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.
  9. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon into the risen dough. Beat for 2 minutes with the stand mixer on low speed.
  10. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish or two 9x5x3-inch glass loaf pans.
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
  12. Let the batter rise until it reaches the top of the pan(s), about 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  14. With a sharp knife, slash the top of the bread diagonally a few times.
  15. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
