Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk warmed to 110°F
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk for thinning icing

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • baking dish
  • oven
  • Whisk
  • knife

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the melted butter, large egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled bacon, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the filling.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 12x18 inches. Spread the maple syrup evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the bacon mixture over the maple syrup.
  7. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  10. Prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, bourbon (if using), and enough milk to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
