Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey bacon or chicken bacon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare candied turkey/chicken bacon by baking it on a parchment-lined sheet with brown sugar until crispy. Chop into strips.
- Create Tangzhong by combining water and flour in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened; set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, milk, egg, Tangzhong, and softened butter. Mix and knead until smooth.
- Let dough rise in an oiled bowl until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).
- Roll out dough into a rectangle and spread with softened butter; sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Add chopped candied bacon before rolling tightly.
- Cut into pieces and place in a greased baking dish; let rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare frosting by blending together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup until smooth; frost warm rolls.
