Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder and black pepper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Add Cheese, Bacon, and Green Onions: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions into the batter.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Storage and Reheating Instructions:

How to Store Bacon Cheddar Bread:

Leftover bread? No problem! To store, wrap it in foil or keep it in an airtight container. It stays fresh at room temperature for a couple of days, and in the fridge for up to a week.

How to Reheat Bacon Cheddar Bread:

Reheating is a breeze. Just pop a slice in the toaster or oven for a few minutes until it’s warm and the cheese gets a bit melty. It’s like reliving the magic of freshly baked bread all over again!

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can This Be Frozen?

Absolutely! This bread is freezer-friendly. Wrap slices or the whole loaf in cling film and then foil, and it’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, defrost it at room temperature or in the fridge overnight. You can then reheat it in the oven or toaster. It’s a great way to have a delicious treat on hand whenever the craving hits!

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Definitely! If you’re planning ahead, you can bake this bread a day or two before you need it. Once cooled, wrap it up and store it as mentioned above. It’s great for meal prep or when you have guests coming. Just reheat and serve, and watch it disappear in no time!

Substitutions & Variations

Not a fan of bacon? Try ham or sausage.
For a vegetarian twist, leave out the meat and add sun-dried tomatoes or olives.
Different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack can bring a new flavor.
Gluten-free? Use your favorite GF flour blend.

Helpful Cooking Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; just stir until everything is combined. This keeps the bread tender.
For even more flavor, try frying the bacon with a bit of garlic or using smoked cheese.
Check the bread at the 40-minute mark as ovens can vary. It should be golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Lastly, have fun with it! Baking is not just about the delicious end product, but the joy of creating something with your own hands.
