Secret Ingredient for the Crispiest Bacon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the night before:

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Pour ¼ cup flour into a shallow bowl.

Working one strip at a time, coat bacon lightly but evenly on all sides—like dusting a cake pan. Shake gently to remove excess (a thin veil is ideal; clumps = burnt spots).

Arrange strips in a single layer on the sheet—no overlap. For multiple layers, stack with parchment between.

Cover tightly with beeswax wrap or a second sheet of parchment (tented to avoid contact). Refrigerate 4+ hours—or overnight.

Bake to perfection:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). No need to adjust rack—middle position is fine.
