Bacon Cheeseburger Swirl Bread – This swirl bread was a result of my family wanting burgers for dinner but, I didn’t have hamburger buns on hand. You all know that moment when you begin to think of ways to improvise just to get a meal on the table and satisfy your hungry eaters. Since my kids enjoy making their own pizzas, I usually have prepared pizza dough of some kind on hand.
As it turns out, pizza dough is one of my favorite “go to” ingredients for making quick dinners. So, I decided to roll-up our cheeseburgers with all of the fixins’ and bake them. After serving it once, this bacon-cheeseburger bread is requested as often as traditional burgers on a bun. It’s a fun bread to make, serve and eat and it’s terrific too or those sports filled days when you’re on the go.

Hi Rhonda, thank you for stopping by to visit. A Silpat is a silicone baking mat. NOTHING sticks to it, it’s a wonderful tool to have in the kitchen. Silicone baking mats are sold under many different brand names now, and I highly recommend them, if you love to bake.
