1 recipe Basic Pizza Dough, or 2 pounds store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 3/4 sticks), room temperature
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
On a floured work surface, roll dough to a 10-by-18-
inch rectangle. Dot upper two-thirds of dough with 1
cup butter and fold dough like a letter. Roll dough
to a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Refrigerate on a
baking sheet until firm, 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl,
combine sugar, pecans, and salt. Leaving a 1/2-
inch border, dot dough with 6 tablespoons butter
and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Starting at a
long end, roll up dough like a jelly roll. Cut
crosswise into 12 pieces. Place each piece, cut
side down, into two jumbo muffin pans or a 9-by-
13-inch baking pan.
Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 30 to 40
minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Immediately
invert buns onto a serving platter or baking sheet.
Serve warm.
Folding butter into the dough creates a flaky, rich
result. This recipe works well with store-bought
dough, but it's exceptional with homemade.
