Line bread pan with wax paper.  Put red dough on bottom, then white, and then the black.  Cover this with wax paper.  Chill several hours or even overnight if you’re feeling that way.  Cut into 8″ thick slices and then into thirds (so its not like bacon)  Bake on an ungreased pan for 10-12 minutes.  Cool on a cake rack.
