Maple Bacon Pull-Apart Bread

Here at Delish, we think that maple and bacon are a superior flavor combination. The signature sweetness from the maple pairs perfectly with the salty flavor of the bacon, turning any dish into a sweet-salty, flavor-packed dream. There might be no better example of the power of this flavor combo than this pull-apart bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter
  • 3 tbsp. maple syrup, divided
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp. milk

Directions

  1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and grease an 9-x-5" loaf pan. Cut each biscuit in half to create 16 rounds. Mix melted butter with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Brush on both sides of each biscuit round.
  2. Step 2In a medium bowl, mix together the sugars and a generous pinch of salt. Coat each biscuit in the sugar mixture, tapping off excess.
  3. Step 3Make your stack: onto one biscuit, sprinkle a handful crumbled bacon and cover with another biscuit. Repeat this process until all bacon and biscuits are used, ending on a biscuit.
  4. Step 4Place your biscuit stacks into the loaf pan on their sides, so the layers stand upright. If you have any extra maple butter, brush the top of the loaf.
  5. Step 5Bake until biscuits are puffy and golden, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove from pan.
  6. Step 6While cooling, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk milk and maple syrup into powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over warm loaf and serve.
