Bacon Casserole Bread

"When you see bacon drippings as an ingredient, ya'll just know it's southern food. ;-) A stand mixer would be your new best friend when you make this easy, no-knead bread. Rising time is included in prep time."

  1. Made yesterday for FTs *Prop It Up* photo challenge & the *Everyday is a Holiday* game - Oh my, SQ! This bread is so good & the recipe made a *huge* loaf as you can see in the 1st pic. You are prob the 1 person on this planet who knows well why I am so proud of my result (yeast-phobe that I am). I opted for the casserole vs loaf pans, made it exactly as written & froze 5 thick slices to have w/a soup starter for a Sat nite dinner party this wk. It is taste + texture perfect & made great toast this morning. I could not resist the whimsy of adding the boxed yeast to my pics & DH says TY for his birthday treat. :-) *Edited to Add* The bacon drippings? Not a prob for me. I can still recall my gramma frying chicken in a combo of lard + bacon fat & I have never had better fried chicken! :-)

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
