📞 Chiacchierata (chat)
A few years back Hubby and I entered a bread baking contest. We decided to enter the quick bread and yeast bread portion of the contest. The competition was nail-biting fierce. But in the end, the winning entry for the quick bread portion was a savory bacon bread - this recipe.
The yeast bread that won first place was our Stud Muffin bread. A bread filled with gruyere cheese studded with tiny cubes of Parmesan cheese. The bread itself is in the shape of a huge muffin with tiny studs of cheese melting on top.
I've already shared the Stud Muffin Bread recipe, and now we're sharing our other blue ribbon-winning bread, Cheddar Bacon Bread With Chives.
