- ½ tsp black pepper (optional, for a little kick)
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (spray lightly with cooking spray).

- Drizzle maple syrup evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne (if using) over the top.
- Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon across the surface.
Step 3: Bake
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt for extra flavor.
Step 4: Cool & Serve
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes (it will crisp up as it cools).
- Cut into squares or break into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Extra Crispy: Use puff pastry instead of crescent dough for an extra flaky texture.
- Spicy-Sweet Option: Add a drizzle of hot honey for a delicious twist.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Serving Ideas: Pair with brunch dishes, serve as an appetizer, or crumble over pancakes!
