4. This recipe leaves a slightly salty taste in your mouth, like good popcorn, makes you want to go back for more.
5. I am quite sure that this recipe can be adapted to manual preparation and baking with no problem.
6. Soften yeast in water, add beaten eggs and dry ingredients, mix to combine, turn out onto floured surface and knead until the dough begins to pull together, add chopped bacon and knead until smooth and elastic.
