Notes
Freezing:These freeze well in containers.Hints for rising dough: I really enjoy bread rising and the best time of year for it is in summer. But if it's winter and you want to make these, I recommend placing the dough in a bowl, then place a larger bowl around the outside and fill with 30-degree (celsius) water and cover with a towel. It really helps with the rising process.Cooking the bacon:There is no need to cook the bacon for on top, it gets cooked in the process. You chop it small enough that it gets cooked through!
