Pain au Bacon plus Cheddar

Still practicing even though we are up to our eyeballs in baked goods, I had the bright idea to use up a piece of cheddar in the fridge in a loaf of bread.  I figured the Pain au Bacon would be a good starting place.

I think I got fairly good oven spring though probably still could be better.  This picture is of the loaf I slighly deflated getting it in the dutch oven.  The other loaf went in the freezer.

The bread is moist and tasty with big chunks of bacon and cheese spread throughout. Scoring didn't matter since I covered it up with a layer of shredded mozzarella.

I'm going to back off the baking for a few days.  I'm running out of people and places to stash my loaves!

And here's a picture of my homemade Lame....razor blade and chop stick.
