Ingredients

250 gram bacon rashers, rind removed, finely chopped

3 cup self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

40 gram butter, chopped

125 gram can corn kernels, drained

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

1/2 cup milk, plus extra, to brush

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease a 7cm-deep, 21 x 10cm (base measurement) loaf pan.

2.Heat a medium frying pan over moderate heat. Add bacon; cook, stirring, 5 minutes or until browned. Drain on paper towel.

3.Sift flour, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Using fingertips, rub in butter. Stir in half each of the bacon, corn and parmesan. Make a well at centre. Using a round-bladed knife, stir in milk and 1 cup water to combine and make a soft sticky dough.

4.Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead briefly to combine (dough should be soft and sticky). Divide into 6 pieces; shape into balls. Place balls in prepared pan, positioning near the edges. Brush tops with a little extra milk. Sprinkle with remaining bacon, corn and parmesan.

5.Bake 35-40 minutes, or until golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Serve warm with butter.

After kneading sticky dough, rub hands with extra flour to dry-clean before washing. Dough should be soft and sticky. Knead with a light touch until it is just combined.
