My family enjoys this wonderful cheese bread with soup or stew. It’s also great as an accompaniment to dinner.
6 slices bacon
3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
In a 10-inch skillet, cook the bacon until crisp; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pan drippings. Crumble the bacon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Stir in the bacon, shredded cheese and onion.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the reserved pan drippings, milk and eggs. Add to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
Spoon into a greased 5×9-inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour. Invert onto a wire rack immediately. Makes 12 servings.

I love flavored breads!! This sounds great and so easy. Love the no-yeast breads – I’ve never been able to make yeast-type breads very well. Thanks for sharing!
That sounds fantastic! We’ll try that one for sure. Thanks!!
Oooh, this sounds fabulous! I love making breads!
What a neat site, Emily! Thanks for stopping by primeonadime so I could find YOU! Looks like your love is similar to mine.. cooking and hoping others will catch the love instead of buying everything processed. Keep up the wonderful work!
This looks sooooo good!
That sounds great. Thanks for linking up to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.
And no yeast? It looks so fluffy. Must by the 5 tsp of baking powder. Sounds tasty. I’ll have to try this one. I started making breads a couple years ago and I love it!
I was very surprised at how high this bread rose without yeast! And yes, it is the baking powder. It was much lighter in texture than I expected too. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
How Delicious!
There’s a Lovely Blog Award waiting for you on my blog. 🙂

Very cool! I bet my older daughter would enjoy that bread. Swiss cheese is her favorite! Thank you for sharing and Happy Friday!
Emily, this really does sound delicious! I just made cheese grits last night, and I have cheese on the brain these days. My husband would love this. Thanks for the recipe.
Happy Foodie Friday…

Your bread has a wonderful crumb. I can almost smell the aroma as it baked. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us. Have a great day.
What temp. do I preheat oven. THANKS!!! again for the recipe. I would love to make this bread, but I need a temp. for the oven. Geri
375 degrees F and yes, you should preheat the oven. I’m sorry I omitted this in my recipe. 🙂
Yup, another one for my files!! I have everything but swiss…and I want it right this minute, LOL!!! Soon…. 😀
This looks unbelievable. Without the bacon, which I do not eat, this is a dream bread. Swiss must give it a fantastic flavor. Thanks for posting this.
I can’t wait to try this one!! Sounds like the perfect addition for my beer stew! Thanks for joining in the annual bread round up.
So glad you added this bread recipe to the roundup! Thanks for participating.
