THE NIXICON

“One Loaf to Rule the Morning.”
— Powered by bacon, egg, oats, yoghurt, protein, chia & honey —
⚔️ Introduction: The Birth of a Legend
You’ve heard of sourdough. You’ve heard of tiger bread. But until now, you’ve never met a loaf that could bench press a breakfast, high-five your immune system, and fuel a hike through Cannock Chase before the second brew’s finished steeping.
Born from the floury minds of NixBread Labs (based in Staffordshire’s most advanced campervan kitchen), this is no ordinary bake. This is The Nixicon — a loaf so powerful, so emotionally dense, so nutritionally weaponised that birds stop mid-flight just to sniff the air.
🧠 What is The Nixicon?
It’s the apex predator of breakfast loaves.
Designed to cram maximum protein, fibre, flavour, and smug satisfaction into a humble bread tin, The Nixicon blends:
Smoky crispy bacon
A whole egg
Cinnamon yoghurt (or Greek yoghurt if you’re feeling Mediterranean)
Chia seeds for omega-3s and crunch
Oats for that slow-burn energy
A scoop of whey protein for bicep-fuelling brilliance
And honey, to tie it all together in a sticky golden bow
All inside a 450g loaf that smells like triumph and slices like a dream.
🛠️ The Recipe
🔥 Ingredients (for 450g Mini Breadmaker):
Wet:
1 medium egg (50g), beaten
100g cinnamon or plain yoghurt
~50–55ml milk (to reach 180ml when combined with above)
15g melted butter
1 tbsp honey (20g)
Dry:
200g strong white bread flour
25g whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavoured)
25g rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds (10g)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: smoked paprika or herbs
Yeast:
1 tsp dried active yeast (or ¾ tsp instant yeast)
Add-ins (post-beep or via dispenser):
2 rashers crispy streaky bacon, chopped
Sprinkle of oats or chia for topping (optional)
👨🍳 Method of Madness
Wet First: Mix egg, yoghurt, honey, and top up with milk to 180ml. Pour into your breadmaker tin. Add melted butter like a velvet curtain drop.
Dry Party: Add flour, protein powder, oats, chia, salt, pepper, and optional spice.
Yeast to the Throne: Make a well and crown your creation with yeast. DO NOT LET IT TOUCH THE WET. This is yeast etiquette 101.
Set the Controls: Use your Panasonic SD-PN100KXC’s Basic or Soft setting with a medium crust. When it beeps, throw in the bacon like a culinary mic drop.
Wait. Smell. Weep: 3 hours later, you’ll have a crusty monument to your own genius.

🎖 Closing Thoughts
The Nixicon isn’t just a loaf.
It’s a movement.
It’s the smell of ambition baked into your campervan.
It’s what happens when breakfast stops being polite… and starts getting real.
Bite into one slice and you’ll feel it: a quiet voice whispering,
“You’ve peaked. And it’s delicious.”
✍️ Poem of Power:
“Oath to The Nixicon”
O crumb divine, O crust so bold,
A loaf of might, with bacon gold.
You rise with strength, you slice with pride,
In Nix we trust, our tongues abide.
No brunch required, no toast will match,
Your gains unlock the breakfast hatch.
From Stafford’s heart, this loaf was born—
The Nixicon. Forever sworn.
