Prepare and Crisp Bacon
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lay the 12 slices of thick-cut bacon in a single layer on the rack. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brush or spoon the mixture lightly over the bacon slices. Bake for 15–20 minutes until bacon is crisp but not overly brittle. Remove and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 8 slices whole for rolling and chop the remaining 4 slices into 1/2-inch pieces for mixing with the cheese.

Prepare Garlic-Butter
While the bacon bakes, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mince 3 garlic cloves and stir into the melted butter along with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley. Set aside.

Make Cheese Spread
In a medium bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 cups shredded cheddar, the chopped 4 bacon slices reserved earlier, 3 sliced green onions (white and green parts thinly sliced), 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until evenly combined and spreadable. Taste and adjust seasoning or hot sauce to preference.

Assemble Rolls
Warm the 4 store-bought naan just until pliable (30–60 seconds in microwave or 1 minute in a 350°F oven). Lay one naan flat, brush a thin, even layer of garlic-butter over the surface. Spread about 1/4 of the cheese-bacon mixture lengthwise down the center of the naan, leaving 1/2-inch border. Lay 2 slices of the reserved whole crisp bacon on top of the spread (slightly overlapping). Starting at one long edge, fold the naan over the filling and roll tightly into a log, tucking the ends under. Repeat with remaining naan and fillings to make 4 rolls.

Finish and Melt
Place the assembled rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with additional garlic-butter. If desired, sprinkle 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes across rolls. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until warmed through and cheese is melty and edges are lightly golden. For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes while watching closely.
