- Total Time: 3 hours 50 mins
- Yield: 6-8 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe dough such as this one using an overnight poolish OR store-bought dough.
- 1/4 to /2 cup butter
- 1–2 cups maple syrup
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- About 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, or brown sugar
- About 2–3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Bring bread dough to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Melt all the butter.
- Roll out dough. If using applesauce, spread a thin layer of applesauce on the dough. If using brown sugar, baste dough with butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Either way, sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough and cut into 1 inch tall sections.
- Evenly coat a 9×13 casserole dish with most of the remaining butter, ensuring that the butter gets on the sides of the dish too.
- Add the chopped pecans until evenly dispersed.
- Drizzle with as much maple syrup as you prefer.
- Add the dough rolls to the casserole dish with ample room to spread out (it will double when it rises).
- Baste the top with remaining butter.
- Loosely cover with a towel and allow to rise overnight, or at least 3 hours in a very warm place.
- Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until it is springy and no longer doughy.
- If desired, baste with additional melted butter, then invert and serve. Enjoy with a tall cup of freshly brewed coffee!
