Bacon & Cheese Filled Loaves
When I entered this bread for a Los Angeles County Fair contest...and I won third place! The braided, soft bread is wonderful served with a hot bowl of soup.—Marina Castle, Canyon Country, California
Ingredients
- 10 bacon strips, chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
- 1. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Cool slightly.
- 2. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, cheese and bacon mixture. On 2 greased baking sheets, roll each dough into a 16x10-in. rectangle. Spoon half the filling lengthwise down center third of each rectangle.
- 3. On each long side, cut 3/4-in.-wide strips about 2-1/2 in. into the center. Starting at 1 end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch both ends to seal.
- 4. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°.
- 5. Brush loaves with egg; sprinkle with parsley and poppy seeds. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks.
