Instructions
Bacon
You'll need a 24 ounce package of Wright® Brand Bacon. Cut the bacon into 1-inch squares.
Slowly cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered off.
Let cool until ready to use as directed in recipe. *NOTE - half the bacon will be used in the filling and half in the topping.
Dough
Place the yeast, warm water, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a bowl.
Stir and set aside for a couple of minutes.
Add one cup of the flour and the yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.
Mix well.
Add the salt, the butter, eggs, milk, and the remaining sugar.
Beat
with the paddle until well mixed.
Add flour gradually, beating on low with the paddle attachment, until a soft dough forms.
Switch to dough hooks and continue to
beat
on low until the flour is incorporated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead for 5 minutes or according to manufacturers instructions.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, grease the top of the dough, cover, and place in a warm spot until doubled - about an hour.
Punch down and roll the dough into 16x 20-inch rectangle.
Brush with bacon fat or some melted butter.
Sprinkle with sugar mixture then the 12 ounces of cooked bacon pieces.
Starting with the shorter side, roll into a tight cylinder.
Slice the dough into 16 slices.
Lay cut side down in the prepared pan.
Let rise about 45 minutes to an hour.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until done.
Filling
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl and set aside until ready to assemble the rolls.
Gooey Vanilla Icing
Mix the melted butter, vanilla, and bacon fat together in a bowl.
Add the Confectioner's sugar slowly, mixing constantly.
Add milk as needed to get a thick, pourable consistency.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining crispy bacon.
