Bacon, Egg & Oaty Yoghurt Bomb

“The Breakfast Loaf That Changed Brunch Forever”
From the hallowed crumb-laden depths of the Panasonic SD-PN100KXC Mini Breadmaker emerges a loaf so powerful, so emotional, so stupidly delicious — it deserves its own series on Netflix. And maybe a commemorative stamp. Or a folk song. This is that loaf.
🍽️
Why This Loaf Exists
Because toast is tired. Because fry-ups are fiddly. And because you, brave reader, own a mini breadmaker and a big ol’ breakfast-loving heart. This loaf is the answer to, “What if a full English and a bakery fell in love and moved into a campervan named Vanilla?”
🧺 Ingredients (for your 450g MINI)
Wet Ingredients
1 medium egg (beaten) – 50g
100g cinnamon yoghurt
80ml milk (adjust so total wet = 180ml inc. yoghurt and egg)
15g melted butter
Dry Ingredients
225g strong white bread flour
25g rolled oats
½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: pinch smoked paprika or dried chives
Yeast
1 tsp dried active yeast (or ¾ tsp fast action)
Add-ins (post-beep or dispenser)
2 rashers crispy streaky bacon, chopped
Extra tsp oats (for top, if your machine tolerates toppings)
⚙️
How To Load It Up
Liquid First: Crack your egg into a jug, whisk it with yoghurt and top up with milk to 180ml. Pour into bread pan with melted butter.
Then the Dry: Flour, oats, salt, sugar, pepper, and extras. Pile it all in. Make a little yeast nest at the top.
Yeast Last: Always. It’s the law. Sprinkle into its dry bed like a tiny bready burial.
Fire Up the Mini: Use Basic or Soft setting. Medium crust works best. When the add-in beep comes, toss in bacon bits. Let Vanilla waft with the scent of smoky joy.
Cool & Admire: Once baked, let it cool before slicing. Or don’t. Just eat it over the sink with tears in your eyes and bacon in your beard.

🧠 Why It Works (Science-ish)
Egg: Binds, enriches, and gives bounce.
Cinnamon Yoghurt: Adds moisture, tang, and that “what is that??” moment.
Oats: Heartiness and texture, like porridge but far sexier.
Bacon: Because bacon. Don’t overthink it.
🧁 Serving Suggestions
Slather in butter and honey.
Toast slices and serve with poached egg and chilli jam.
Air-fry a wedge and serve under grated cheese. Yes, really.
💌 Final Thoughts:
There are loaves you bake, and loaves you feel. This is one of the latter. It doesn’t ask for applause, just appreciation. Like a 90s indie track or your mate who always brings real butter on camping trips.
And now…
🥲 A Poem for the Loaf:
“Ode to the Oaty Bomb”
A golden crown, a breakfast hymn,
With bacon bold and yoghurt trim,
You rose from dough in silence bright,
And filled my van with morning light.
O bread divine, both soft and dense,
You’ve battered every line of sense.
For in your crumb, both crisp and true,
I found a breakfast born anew.
