Ingredients

1 pound bacon
1 (8-ounce) tube crescent dough sheet, (or rolls)
¼ cup maple syrup, (divided)
¾ cup brown sugar
cracked black pepper, (optional)

Method

Cook the bacon by whichever method you prefer — oven, stovetop or air fryer — then drain off its grease, chop or crumble it into pieces and set it aside.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 18 x 13 x 2-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the crescent dough sheet out onto the prepared pan, pinching the seams together first if you are using crescent rolls, and prick the dough all over with a fork.
Brush 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup over the surface of the dough with a basting brush.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the syrup-brushed dough.
Scatter the cooked bacon pieces over the sugared dough.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bacon and sprinkle on cracked black pepper if you are using it.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the dough is golden brown, let the sheet cool, then cut or crack it into pieces.
