Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9x13 inch casserole dish by spraying with cooking spray
In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine all dough ingredients and knead for about 7 minutes, or until dough is soft, smooth, and has come together in a firm mass. If hand-kneading, you may need to knead a few minutes longer. Note - Dough should be smooth, not overly sticky, and fairly easy to handle. If your dough is still wet, add 1 Tbs of flour one at a time until it comes together.
Turn dough out onto a silpat or cooking sprayed work surface, I have an awesome pastry mat I use lightly floured.
Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a rectangle that's approximately 9x14 inches
Spread butter in an even layer over the surface of the dough, leaving about 1/4-inch margins around edges; set aside.

In a small bowl, add sugars, cinnamon, and stir to combine. Evenly sprinkle mixture over the buttered dough. Sprinkle chopped bacon over cinnamon and sugar.
Starting with the 14-inch side, roll dough up into a tight log
Make approximately 1-inch slices with a pastry cutter, or a sharp knife or even unflavored waxed dental floss. You don’t want to squish the rolls too much, I used my pastry cutter so let's call them rustic.
Place rolls into prepared pan. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until cooked through and set. Watch rolls closely so you don't burn them.

Making the glazed - over low heat melt the butter and maple syrup together; Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup powdered sugar
