Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Activate the yeast by warming 1 cup of milk and stirring in ¼ cup of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl by whisking together 4 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients; whisk together melted ¼ cup of unsalted butter, 2 eggs, activated yeast mixture, and ¼ cup of bourbon until smooth.
  4. Form the dough by gradually adding wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until shaggy, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled.
  6. Prepare the filling by mixing together ½ cup of crumbled beef bacon, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
  8. Assemble the rolls by spreading softened ¼ cup of unsalted butter over the dough and then sprinkling the filling mixture.
  9. Shape the rolls by rolling the dough into a log and cutting into 12 equal pieces.
  10. Place the cut rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls rise.
  12. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  13. Make the glaze by whisking together ¼ cup of powdered sugar and ¼ cup of maple syrup until smooth.
  14. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls after removing them from the oven.
