PREPARATION:

• Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for a few minutes.


• Cut the dough in half, put in two rectangular bread pans, then sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar cup and reserved bacon bits earlier.


• Cover the dough with the laundry again and place it in a warm place for 30 minutes.


• Preheat oven to 400 ° F and bake bread for 15 minutes.


• After 15 minutes, place a sheet of aluminum foil on the buns, lower the temperature to 350 ° F and bake for 35 minutes.


• After 35 minutes, remove the sheet of aluminum foil and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
