Asiago Baco Buns

Annacia's Note:

Here is a recipe that I came up with when wanting a bacon and cheese type bread but not wanting to use bacon. I always make buns but you could, of course, make a standard loaf of bread with it if you like. I always use the bread machine for the kneading then form and bake in the oven.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 1 hrs
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute (or sugar)
• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups white flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
• 1 ½ teaspoons fast rising yeast
• ½ cup shredded asiago cheese
• 1 tablespoon Bacos bacon bits (vegetarian bacon flavored bits, may use to to 3 tbsp if wanted)

Directions:

1. Add the first eight ingredients in the order listed.
2. Program bread machine to "Dough" and start it.
3. At the machines signal for additions put the cheese and Baco's inches.
4. Let it continue working until the end of the first rise when the machine will stop.
5. Remove the dough to a lightly floured board and cut it into 6 equal pieces for large sandwich buns and more smaller pieces for smaller or dinner sized buns (or shape and place in a greased 9x5 loaf pan if desired and continue as with buns) .
6. Place the buns on a cookie sheet and allow to rise in a warm, draft free, place till doubled.
7. Bake in a 350F oven for 30 mins or till they are a golden brown and have a holloe sound when tapped.
