Choose a rich, mildy sweet bread dough or regular bread dough.
Depending on how much bread dough you are using, melt together brown sugar and butter in a ratio of 2 pounds sugar to 1 pound butter. Stir until brown sugar melts.
Editor's Note: This will make a large batch.
Roll out a portion of bread dough 1/4 inch thick to cover a space a little larger than 9 x 13 inches.
Sprinkle some sugar mixture on evenly and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with raisins, coconut, marshmallows, chopped nuts, etc. (all optional).
Roll up tightly jelly-roll style to form a 13 inch long roll.
Slice off buns in 1 inch lengths.
Pour sugar mixture into the bottom of pan and add nuts if desired. Place buns in pan close to each other, side by side. Allow to rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size. Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for about 30 minutes or until brown.
When done, dump buns on cookie sheets, so that sticky part is on top.
Best eaten warm.
