Preparation

Step 1

Makes 2 rolls; 6-8 servings each.

1. In a shallow bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll each loaf of dough into 12-in. x 14-in. rectangle. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into four 1-in. strips. Roll each into an 18-in. long rope. Dip in butter, then roll in sugar mixture.



2. Coil one rope in the center of a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Add three more ropes, pinching ends together to fill one pan. Repeat with remaining ropes on a second pizza pan. Sprinkle with pecans and remaining cinnamon sugar. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.



3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
