  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened

Glaze

Instructions
 

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  • Add salt, egg, and melted butter. Mix well.
  • Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the Filling & Assemble

  • In a bowl, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, bacon, bourbon, cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x15 inch rectangle.
  • Spread filling evenly over the dough. Roll up tightly, starting from a long side.
  • Cut into 1.5-inch thick rolls and place in a greased baking dish.
  • Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake and Glaze

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While rolls are baking, make the glaze: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and bourbon until smooth.
  • Let rolls cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.

Notes

These rolls are best served warm. Enjoy!
