Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the loaf of bread.
- In a 9 x 13 inch pan, melt 2 tablespoons of oleo, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and corn syrup.
- Roll out the bread dough to 12 x 16 inches and spread with 2 tablespoons of oleo.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts over the dough.
- Roll up from the long side like a jelly roll, then slice into 12 pieces.
- Place the slices in the prepared pan.
- Bake at 360°F (182°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra touch, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for added texture and flavor. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter or margarine can be used as a substitute. You can also use a different type of sweetener like honey or maple syrup in place of corn syrup for a unique flavor twist. Be sure to let the dough rise properly before baking for the best results.
Serving Suggestions
These pecan rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch and can be served warm with a drizzle of frosting or glaze on top. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
