Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, bourbon, and the activated yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes or until it feels smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- Combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and crumbled beef bacon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, ensuring even coverage.
- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-bacon mixture over the buttered dough, gently pressing to adhere.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with a cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once the rolls have risen, place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Mix the powdered sugar with maple syrup in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the maple glaze generously over the warm rolls.
