Ingredients
1/2
cup packed brown sugar
1/3
cup chopped pecans
1
tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
4
tablespoons real maple syrup
1
can (13.8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust
4
tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1/3
cup precooked bacon, chopped (4 strips)
1/2
cup powdered sugar
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil, extending up and over sides. Spray with cooking spray.
In small bowl, mix brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup until well mixed.
Lightly sprinkle large cutting board with flour. Unroll pizza dough on board. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the melted butter. Brush remaining butter evenly on dough to within 1/2 inch of short sides. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture and bacon evenly over butter. Starting with short side, roll up; pinch edge to seal. Place seam side down on cutting board.
With serrated knife, cut roll in half lengthwise, forming 2 strips. Place cut side up. Carefully overlap strips 2 to 3 times to form twist. Press ends to seal. Place in pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until deep golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cover with foil last 5 to 10 minutes of bake time to prevent overbrowning. Remove to cooling rack. Cool 15 minutes. Carefully lift out of pan using sides of foil. Place on cutting board; remove foil.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir 2 teaspoons reserved melted butter, remaining 3 tablespoons maple syrup, the powdered sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt until smooth. Drizzle over twist. Serve warm.
