Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup whole milk, warmed (110°F)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for about five minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; mix until combined.
- Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about eight minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick.
- Add filling: Spread melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar mixture and distribute crispy bacon evenly on top.
- Form rolls & bake: Roll tightly from one edge to another, slice into equal pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Allow to rise for another thirty minutes while preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for about twenty-five minutes or until golden brown.
