- Why became the loin dry?
- You overcooked it. Use a meat thermometer: if the centre reaches 70-75°C, it's done. Every extra minute just dries it.
- Why did it fall apart when slicing?
- You didn't let it rest after baking, or cut with a blunt knife. During resting, fibres relax and retain juices.

Instructions
Tear the bread rolls into pieces, soak in milk, then squeeze out thoroughly after a few minutes.
Chop the onion finely and sauté in fat. In a bowl, mix the squeezed bread, egg, fried onion, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Pierce the centre of the loin lengthways with a long knife and widen the opening, or cut deep into the side and open like a book.
Stuff the mixture into the meat. Seal the opening with skewers or sew it up.
Salt the meat on the outside (carefully, the bacon is salty too!), wrap in bacon slices. Place in a baking tray, pour a little water underneath, and cover with foil.
Bake at 180°C for approx. 60 minutes, then remove foil and roast for another 20 minutes until bacon is crispy.
