Serves: Serves 4
 
Ingredients
  • 1 package of store-bought pizza dough, French bread dough, or croissant dough
  • One medium onion, minced
  • Between ⅓ cup and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (see note)
  • ½ cup bacon (around 100 grams)
  • 3 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. oregano
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven per the instructions on the bread dough package and grease a metal baking pan (interesting shapes work well here!). Roll out the dough so it forms a rectangular shape if it doesn't already.
  2. Cook bacon until it is lightly browned and roughly chop it.
  3. In the same skillet (without removing the bacon grease), brown the onions.
  4. While the bacon and onions are cooking, spread the Dijon mustard to cover the dough, then sprinkle on half of the oregano.
  5. When the onions have finished cooking and have cooled slightly, evenly sprinkle them on the dough. Repeat this process with the bacon and then cheese (use your discretion on how much cheese, it should only be a light cover).
  6. Sprinkle the remaining oregano on top of the cheese.
  7. Carefully roll the dough into a pinwheel shape, making sure the fillings stay in as you roll.
  8. Slice the roll into 1" pieces, and place the circles on the greased baking pan.
  9. Cook bread per the instructions on the package.
Notes
This recipe can easily be made the night before by storing it in a log and refrigerating, then slicing and baking it in the morning.

Adjust the amounts of cheese and bacon to the amount of dough you're working with.
