Maple Bacon Bar
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 egg
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 beaten egg.
- Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough into rectangular bars and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bars for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to make the glaze. Dip the cooled bars into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Sprinkle the tops of the maple bars with the cooked and crumbled bacon bits. Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious maple bacon bars!
