Old Fashioned Praline Pecan Rolls

My Mom and I baked up two different, but similar, recipes for pecan rolls for Mother's Day. Both were yummy, this recipe was mine and was more brown-sugar-buttery. I melted some butter on them and ate two!! We both had problems with getting our dough rolled out to the proper size, this recipe called for a smaller rectangle and was cut into smaller rolls. This is a keeper, but we both liked the other recipe because of the cinnamon. Perhaps a mix of both recipes?

Old Fashioned Praline Pecan Rolls

1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen bread (I used Bridgeford Ready-Dough)
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. pecans halves
2/3 c. pecans, chopped
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T flour
1/4 c. butter, melted

1. Let bread thaw until pliable. Dough may be thawed overnight in the refrigerator or in the microwave oven for 6 minutes on low power.
2. Place 1/4 c. melted butter in the bottom of a well-greased 13" x 9" pan. Sprinkle 1/4 c. brown sugar and pecan halves over butter.
3. On a lightly floured board, roll dough out to a 10" x 14" rectangle. Brush with 2 Tablespoons of the remaining melted butter.
4. Combine chopped pecans with remaining brown sugar and flour. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
5. Beginning with the 10" side, roll the dough up tightly in jelly roll fashion. Pinch dough along the edge to seal. Slice rolled dough into 12 pieces. Place slices, cut side down, in prepared pan.
6. Brush dough with remaining butter. Let rise until rolls have doubled in size (2-3 hours).
7. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully invert rolls onto a serving platter at once (syrup is very hot!)
