  1. Fry the onion and bacon in 1tbsp of the oil until softened but not browned. Leave to cool.
  2. Place the flour, salt and yeast in a mixing bowl. Mix the remaining oil with the water, then stir into the flour along with the onions and bacon. Mix until a soft dough is formed, then turn onto a work surface and knead until smooth.
  3. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces, shape each into an oval about 2.5cm thick and place on an oiled baking tray. Use a very sharp knife to cut 2 long slashes down the centre, then 3 slashes either side like a leaf. Open the slashes out slightly.
  4. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, then remove the cling film.
  5. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas mark 7.
  6. Place the bread in the centre of the pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
