I don't eat bacon or bread with gluten, but I think if you’re going for the ultimate butty it should be accessible for everyone. Why not try gluten-free bread? Some alternatives can surprise you.

Keep it simple. White bread is traditional for a reason - because it works. Slather on the butter, and let the bacon be the star. This is not the time for fancy bread experiments.

Let's not forget the role of the bread's structure. A good crust that is toasted to perfection adds the ideal texture, absorbing the bacon fat while remaining crisp. White bread can do that well, but let's not dismiss a sturdy brown loaf too hastily.

Brown bread for bacon butty? That’s like putting pineapple on pizza. Just no. Stop this madness!

I might be going against the grain here, but a fresh sourdough - albeit not your regular white bread - takes a bacon butty to another level. It's all about the quality of the bread no matter the colour, folks.

I want my bacon butty to be guilt as well as gluten - no skimping on the good stuff. White bread, loads of butter, and thick rashers of bacon. If I wanted health food, I'd eat a salad.

I get why people would say white, but hear me out. Whole grain bread is not only healthier but adds a nice texture contrast with crispy bacon. Plus, it’s better fuel for your body. Just try it with a good quality loaf!

You’re spot on, mate. White bread all the way for a proper bacon butty. The wholemeal brigade can do one.
