Instructions to make Bacon Pain d'Epi:
- Make the dough. Mix all the dough ingredients together. If doing this in a bread machine, knead for 10 to 12 minutes. When the dough has been kneaded, leave to rise for 1 hour at 20 to 25°C.
- Deflate the dough, re-form into a ball, and leave to rise again for another hour.
- After the second rising, divide the dough into 4 portions. Fold up each portion and round off. If you form it into an oval shape it's easier to work with later. Cover with plastic and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Stretch out to about the same length as a slice of bacon. Top with a slice of bacon and some coarsely ground black pepper, roll up and pinch the seam securely closed.
- Lay a pair of kitchen scissors almost flat against the bread and snip the dough. Make the cuts quite deep so that dough spreads out a bit.
- Push the cut dough to the left. With the next cut, push the cut dough to the right. If you do this alternately, it will look like a wheat stalk.
