Bacon and mushroom garlic bread

“Back in our uni days, my brother, Sharon [Khoo’s wife] and I used to order a lot of cheap home delivery pizza, but we didn’t like their garlic bread. Instead we’d get frozen garlic bread from the supermarket. One day I layered it with mushrooms, cheese and bacon, and we never looked back.” – Junda Khoo
