Bacon Parmesan Quick Bread is a super fast bread recipe that comes together in 30 minutes! No waiting for dough to rise and it goes great with anything you’re having for dinner.
The bread is BACK, you guys. It was only a matter of time before I baked up a fresh loaf to share with you. The only problem with baking up a quick bread like this? It’s gone that very same day. Even if it is just me, myself and I (well and Kya, you know, to clean up the crumbs).
This bacon parmesan quick bread is one of those recipes I’ve had in my back pocket for years whenever I either forgot to get bread for a dinner I was hosting or just desperately need bread in my life. Generally I’m too lazy to leave the house when I have a serious craving, and this recipe gets me happy in record time.
I usually resist baking bread unless it’s on a lazy Sunday morning because of all the time it takes for the dough to rise. I know I’m not doing anything while the dough is rising, but it’s excruciating to wait for the time to tick by before I have to knead the dough and finally get around to baking it.
So I became all about the quick breads instead!
I remember I used to live of French bread baguettes when I was in college. They were cheap, filling and I have an addiction to balsamic that is unreal. Of course, I also gained about 20lbs in college… I wonder why…
Thankfully my taste buds have evolved just enough to allow me to start including spice, bacon and cheese in almost anything. This easy bread has all those things – the spice from the cayenne, the cheese from the parmesan and that savory bacon that nothing else can be substituted for.
Finally, baking is easy and fun again! 😉

Hello! I notice that you mention baking powder on the ingredients, but baking soda on the recipe… which one is correct? Thanks.
