Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 35 mins
Total Time 55 mins
Cooking Temperature 200 C / 400 F / Gas Mark 6
Course Bread, Lunch, Quick Breads
Servings 10 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Bacon
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 pinch English Mustard powder
  • 2 oz Cheddar Cheese cubed
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley dried

Instructions
 

  • Grease and line a bread loaf tin. Set aside.
  • Fry or microwave the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel, crumble and set aside.
  • Cut cheddar into ½ inch (1 cm) cubes; set aside.
  • Start heating your oven to 200 C / 400 F / Gas Mark 6.
  • In a bowl, put the flour, salt, baking powder and mustard powder. Stir, then add the milk and egg and stir again until all combined. The consistency should more that of a cake batter than a bread dough -- if too thick, add a tablespoon or two more milk. Don't overstir, though, as you don't want any gluten to develop in the flour. Fold in the cheese cubes and the crumbled bacon.
  • Transfer to the loaf pan, spread out evenly, and bake in oven until golden brown and risen and a tooth pick comes out clean from the dough. This should be about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, let stand for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool and remove baking paper.
  • Serve in slices warm or cold.

Notes

Use American-style bacon, the kind that in the UK is called "streaky". 2 oz / 60g of cubed Cheddar Cheese will equal about ⅓ cup.
