Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (chopped, cooked until crisp and drained)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (pure preferred)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix together sugar, flour, salt, and softened butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add the yeast mixture and eggs; mix until combined. Stir with a wooden spoon or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on low until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12×18 inches.
- Spread bacon and cinnamon evenly across the dough, then drizzle with maple syrup.
- Roll dough tightly and cut into 12 even rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, warm rolls in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 8–12 minutes until heated through.
