Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). In a resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, sugar, and pepper, then give it a good shake to mix everything together. Add a few strips of bacon to the bag at a time, close it, and shake gently until the bacon is well coated with the mixture. Arrange the coated bacon strips on a baking sheet or a broiler pan in a single layer. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked just the way you like it—crispy or a little chewy. Keep an eye on it towards the end so it doesn’t burn. Once done, let the bacon cool slightly before serving.
Why you’ll love it

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the bacon crispy before serving again.
