1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. dark Karo syrup
Pecans or walnuts, if desired
2 tbsp. white sugar mixed with 2 tsp. cinnamon

Grease edges of 10x10x2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with pecans of walnuts if desired. Cut bread dough in strips (the long way), then cut each strip in small pieces.

Roll each piece in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on topping. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 325 degrees approximately 20-25 minutes until dough is done. Brush top with butter. Let stand 10 minutes, then invert buns onto serving plate.
