Step 6: Make the Frosting

- Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar , then whisk in the maple syrup and bourbon , adjusting the bourbon to taste for desired flavor intensity.
Step 7: Finish and Serve

Tips for Success
- Candied Bacon Prep : Make the candied bacon a day ahead to save time. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Tangzhong Technique : The tangzhong method keeps the dough soft and moist, even after cooling. Don’t skip this step!
- Customize the Booze : Adjust the amount of bourbon in both the frosting and filling based on your preference for alcohol flavor.
- Storage : Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
