1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup bacon bits
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup brown sugar
Directions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Heat milk in a small saucepan until it just starts to bubble. Remove from heat and add sugar and butter. Stir until combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, beaten egg, flour, and salt. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Roll dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Brush with bourbon and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Scatter bacon bits over the dough, then carefully roll it up, starting from one of the long sides.
- Cut the roll into 12 even pieces. Place each roll cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Mix powdered sugar, remaining milk, and maple syrup for the glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
