Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the sweet dough mixture according to package or recipe instructions and allow it to come to room temperature if chilled.
  2. Generously grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar, chopped pecans, dark seedless raisins, and ground cinnamon; set aside.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 18x12-inch rectangle.
  5. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter or margarine, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Sprinkle the sugar, nut, and raisin mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  7. Starting from one of the 18-inch sides, tightly roll the dough up jelly-roll fashion.
  8. Pinch the long seam to seal the roll securely.
  9. With the seam side down, use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the roll crosswise into 15 equal slices.
  10. Place the slices into the prepared pan, cut side down, leaving a little space between them for rising.
  11. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  12. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  13. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and cooked through.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
  15. While the rolls cool, make the glaze by stirring together 2 cups confectioner's sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and about 3 tablespoons water until smooth.
  16. Spread the glaze over the warm rolls.
  17. Pull apart with forks or serve warm with a knife.
