Bacon cinnamon rolls

There are times when salty and sweet just go fabulously together. The salt brings out the sweet, the sweet brings out the salt and is just a never ending cycle of taste bud bliss. It may seem a little weird to put bacon inside a sweet bread roll, but let me assure you that if you like umami tastes, you will love this.
I've found that one way to achieve a perfect salty sweet treat is a cinnamon roll with the delightful taste of umami n in every unraveled bite.
  I I will be showing you how to reach an epic taste experience with basic ingredients.
These beautiful gems are great for weekend family breakfasts and comfort food occasions.

Please also be aware that this process can take an hour or two before you start.

Step 1 Make the dough

For my cinnamon rolls I used a sweet role dough that is very simple (see below). You can use any type of dough that appeals to you though, such as buttermilk dough, or biscuit dough. They do however create a different taste than that of the recipe I am using.

Ingredients
1 package of active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup lukewarm milk (scalded and cooled)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/4 cup shortening or butter (softened)
2 1/2 cups flour

dissolve yeast in water, stir in milk, sugar, salt, egg, shortening, and mix in about 1 1/4 cups of the flour initially and gradually add in more flour until your dough reaches a easily handled state.

lightly flour your surface and knead dough until smooth and elastic.. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, flip the dough over, cover it with cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has relatively doubled in size.

while waiting for dough to rise cook your bacon.
