Bacon Breadstick Focaccia

So this weekend I co-hosted a baby shower where the menu followed a theme.

BACON

The menu was comprised of:

Bacon and Cheese Dip
Bacon Breadstick Focaccia
Spinach Salad with Crumbled Backon
Cauliflower Soup with Bacon Garnish
Maple Bacon Cupcakes

Does that not sound AMAZING?!

It was, just take my word for it.

Bacon Breadstick Focaccia
Adapted from Pillsbury.com
Makes 2 Small Focaccia*

1 can of refrigerated breadstick dough
2.1 oz package of precooked bacon slices
2 pieces of string cheese (4 if you want both focaccia to have cheese)
1 egg
Garlic Salt, to taste
Italian Seasoning, to taste
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 and prepare a baking sheet (your choice: parchment, baking mat, cooking spray, etc.)
  2. Slice the cheese into quarters long ways to make 8 longs strips.
  3. Unroll the breadsticks and layer each with a piece of cheese (for half of the breadsticks) and a piece of bacon.
  4. Roll the breadstick/bacon combo into two pinwheels, one with cheese and one without.
  5. Beat one egg and brush over the top of the bread.
  6. Dice the extra slices of bacon (if you haven't eaten them already) and sprinkle over the top along with the garlic salt and Italian seasoning.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

*I have done one big pinwheel and two small ones and the two small ones seems to turn out better.
