Bacon Crack
By Tstone76
Lay out the dough spread out thinly, on a parchment lined baking sheet

- 1 lb. Bacon..semi-crispy. I use the microwave on high approx. 6-8 minutes, but definitely watch over it.
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup, may vary…just use a light layer onto the Dough, and then a light layer onto the top of the Bacon…that’s it! :)
- 1 pinch of Cayenne Pepper..optional, but AMAZING!
