What you'll need
- cooking spray
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 2 (11 ounce) packages of Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Helpful Tip:
These bars are delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream, or drizzled with a little white or dark chocolate to add a finishing touch.
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 10-11-inch spring form pan with cooking spray and set side.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and pecans. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out both pieces of pizza dough, side by side.
- Brush each piece of dough with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar/pecan mixture over each of the pieces of dough, leaving a 1- inch border around the edge.
- Roll up both pieces of dough into a log, jell-roll style. Trim off the ends of each roll to make them neat, and then cut each roll into about 15 (1-inch pieces).
- Place each piece of dough side by side in concentric circles into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until bread is lightly browned. Serve warm.
