Ingredients

1 pkg Pizza Crust Mix, plus ingredients to prepare
½ cup (125 mL) brown sugar
½ cup (125 mL) white sugar
2 tsp (10 mL) cinnamon
½ cup (125 mL) butter, melted (1 stick)
Optional: Classic Cake Glaze

Directions

Prepare the pizza dough according to package directions.
Divide the dough into quarters. Cut each quarter in half. Cut each piece into 6, for a total of 48 pieces.
Combine the sugars and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Dip each piece of dough in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the dough in one of the Brilliance Nonstick Long Loaf Pans.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces, stacking them on top of each other. Pour any remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture on the top. Place the lid on the pan and let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the lid from the pan and cover with foil. Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until bubbling and cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, place a large platter or a sheet pan on top of the pan. Carefully flip the pan over. Lift the pan up to release. Drizzle with the glaze, if you’d like. Serve warm.

Cook's Tips:

Prep ahead! Instead of letting the bread rise for 1 hour rise at room temperature, put it in the refrigerator overnight. Pull the pan out of the fridge while you preheat your oven to let it come back to room temperature.
