- ▢½ cup (54.5 g) coarsely chopped pecans
Rolls
- ▢2 tubes (8-count each) crescent rolls
- ▢½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ▢½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ▢1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions

Sticky Bun Topping
- In a bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Pour it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Top the butter and brown sugar with the chopped pecans.
Rolls
- Working on a clean work surface, roll out both tubes of dough. Position the second sheet of dough directly next to the first sheet, creating a large square of dough. Combine the sheets of dough so that no seams are seen.
- Spread the butter evenly over the dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
- Working on the long edge, roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal-sized pieces. Nestle each piece into the sticky topping in the pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Flip the baked rolls onto a large cookie sheet or sheet pan.
- Serve warm.
