Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, eggs, and melted butter. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped bacon, and jalapeños. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Roll it tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting

    While the rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Once baked, let the rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with cream cheese frosting before serving.
