Ingredients

• 1 loaf (16 ounces) Frozen bread dough
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 cup (roughly chopped) Pecans
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons (for rolling dough) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Thaw frozen bread dough according to the package instructions until soft and easy to handle.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel layer and set aside.

Step 4

Dust your work surface with 2 tablespoons of flour and roll the thawed bread dough into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.

Step 5

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 6

Starting from one long edge of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 evenly-sized slices.

Step 7

Arrange the slices cut-side down on top of the caramel and pecan layer in the baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until puffy.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes. Then, place a large serving platter over the dish and invert it to release the rolls. The gooey caramel and pecans will coat the top.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
