Recipe Notes and Tips

Oven temperature - I specify fan-forced oven temperatures in my recipes, so if you have a conventional oven, just increase the temperature by between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Variations - you can substitute ham for the bacon in this slice, but you may like to add a little more salt when seasoning. Or omit the bacon for a vegetarian option.
Gluten-free option - you can easily substitute the self-raising flour with gluten-free self-raising flour.
Seasonings and accompaniments - for a different flavour you can either substitute the dried herbs for a seasoning blend, like Mexican or Cajun. Serving it with a chutney or relish is also a great way to add a complimentary flavour.
To avoid the top browning too much - simply place a sheet of foil over the top halfway through baking and continue until cooked through.
Storing - I recommend storing the slice, cut into pieces, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze pieces in an airtight container or ziplock bags for up to 3 months.
