Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar, stirring gently. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, bourbon, and the frothy yeast mixture.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour blend, using a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until a dough begins to form.
- Place the smooth dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and crumbled beef bacon in a small bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. On a floured surface, roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Evenly spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-bacon mixture evenly across the buttered dough.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log shape, keeping it tight and uniform.
- Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish and cover them with a cloth. Let them rise again for 30 minutes.
- While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- After the second rise, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown on top.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with maple syrup until smooth to create a luscious glaze.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the maple glaze generously over the top.
Notes
Ensure to activate yeast properly and allow the dough to rise adequately for optimal texture.
