The ULTIMATE bacon sandwich

Probably the best bacon sandwich in the world. Crisp dry cured back and streaky bacon sandwiched between two layers of bacon flecked sour dough bread and served with a spicy Bloody Mary ketchup. This should consign the chewy pink bacon in cotton wool bread to the pages of history.

You've been surviving on breakfast cereal all week so this is your weekend reward. Enjoy it with the Sunday papers and a strong coffee.

You will need one sour dough loaf. This easy to make but you will need to invest a little time during the week to prepare it.

I found this recipe online and it makes a superb loaf with a good chewy crust and a great flavour:

It make look daunting but it just requires a few simple tasks and some patience.

(Simply fold in five rashers of finely chopped crisp streaky bacon in the final stage of kneading)

If you don't want to make your own, just buy a decent crusty loaf from the shop but you'll be missing a treat.
