  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans
  • chopped
  • 1 pound frozen store-bought pizza or bread dough
  • thawed and brought to room temp
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Heat a medium-size skillet (about 10 inches) over medium-high heat
  • Add butter to melt
  • When butter begins to foam, add brown sugar
  • Melt for a minute or two then slowly whisk in the heavy cream
  • Season with salt
  • Remove from heat and add in all of the nuts
  • While the sauce is cooling, prepare the sticky bun
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the pizza dough out on a floured surface
  • Roll the dough out into a big oval until it’s about 1/4-inch thick
  • Sprinkle the dough with sugar and then with cinnamon
  • With a pizza cutter (or knife), cut the dough into long half-inch strips
  • Bundle all the strips together and stretch them out with your hands
  • Starting at one end, twirl all of the strips around each other to make a big spiral
  • The roll should be able to fit snug into the cast-iron pan
  • If it needs to be larger, use a rolling pin to roll it out a bit bigger
  • Place the big cinnamon roll into the pan on top of the nuts
  • Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for two hours or until it’s puffy and fills the pan
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate
