Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Bisquick with 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of seltzer, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup, stirring until smooth.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of crumbled crispy bacon, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 2 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup of chopped chives, and 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese into the batter, mixing gently.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and brush the top with remaining melted butter.
  5. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Notes

Ensure bacon is crispy before adding to the batter. Avoid overmixing for a fluffy texture. Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
