- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a flat, even layer (approximately 12×15 inches).
- Sprinkle the filling mixture on top.

- Place the rolls in the prepared pan on top of the topping and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Notes
- For a richer caramel, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- To make these ahead, assemble the buns up to the baking stage and refrigerate overnight. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
- Crispy bacon is key! Ensure the bacon is cooked until crisp before adding it to the topping.
