Maple Glazed Pecan Knots - A Delicious Twist on Classic Cinnamon Rolls
Looking for a sweet and nutty treat that's perfect for breakfast or dessert? Look no further than these Maple Glazed Pecan Knots! This recipe puts a delicious twist on classic cinnamon rolls, with a rich maple glaze and crunchy pecans adding extra flavor and texture.
To make these Maple Glazed Pecan Knots, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated bread dough
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle, then brush it with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, then sprinkle the mixture over the dough. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top, then roll the dough up tightly into a log.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Take each piece and tie it into a knot, tucking the ends underneath to create a round shape. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the knots are baking, make the maple glaze by whisking together the maple syrup and remaining melted butter. Once the knots are done, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the maple glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
