For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the loaves before baking. If you don't have bacon drippings, you can substitute with melted butter. Feel free to experiment with different types of whiskey or liqueurs to customize the flavor profile. To prevent the bacon from sinking to the bottom of the bread, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding it into the batter.
