Method

  1. 1

    Scatter the torn bread on a tray and leave uncovered for an hour to dry out a little, or use bread that is already stale.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the bacon and peppers for 6 minutes until the bacon is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and cook for a minute, then lift everything out of the pan.

  4. 4

    Add the bread chunks to the pan and fry over a medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, tossing often, until crisp and golden.

  5. 5

    Return the bacon and peppers to the pan, toss together, season well and serve hot.
