Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and granulated sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and the frothy yeast mixture. Then add the bourbon.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until the dough begins to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and crumbled beef bacon.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter evenly across the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the prepared filling mixture over the buttered dough, spreading it out evenly.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a log shape, keeping it as tight as possible.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise in a warm spot for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup to create a smooth glaze.
- After removing the rolls from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze generously over the warm rolls.
