Ingredients

For the dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour divided
1 packet active dry yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup butter melted
1 cup scalded milk 120-130ºF

For the filling:

2 tablespoons butter softened
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar use ½ cup if you like them extra sweet and gooey
½ teaspoon cinnamon
12 ounces thick cut bacon cooked and diced (reserve a few slices for garnishing top of rolls)

For the icing (consider doubling):

1 cup powdered sugar confectioners
2 tablespoons butter softened
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons maple extract

Instructions

Combine 1 cup of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in bowl of stand mixer. Add milk and stir to combine. Beat in eggs and butter. On low speed, gradually stir in remaining 3 cups of flour until a soft ball is formed. Knead on medium speed for a few minutes. Add more flour if necessary, but dough should be very soft and tacky.
Place dough in oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough and roll out on lightly floured surface into a 16×21 inch rectangle.
Spread with butter. Combine cinnamon and sugars and sprinkle over rectangle, then add chopped bacon.
Roll up starting at the long end (you’ll have a roll 21 inches long). Pinch ends to seal and slice into 12 rolls. Place in lightly greased baking pans about an inch apart, cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375ºF and bake for 16-21 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden brown.
Meanwhile, mix all ingredient for icing, stirring until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk or sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Pour over slightly cooled cinnamon rolls, sprinkle with reserved bacon.
