- Lightly flour your working surface. Roll out half of the dough to 1/4-inch thickness into a rectangle.
- Pour about 1 cup of melted butter over the dough; sprinkle with 1.5 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and 3 cups of granulated sugar.
- Starting at the long end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place slices in a greased baking dish. Let rise for 20 minutes covered with towels.
