Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12x10 inch rectangle.

  2. 2

    Melt the 4 tbsp butter and brush most of it over the dough, reserving 1 tbsp. Sprinkle the 0.5 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 cup chopped walnuts evenly over the butter.

  3. 3

    Roll the dough tightly from a long side into a log. Slice the log in half lengthwise and twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides up.

  4. 4

    Shape the twisted dough into a wreath on a parchment-lined baking sheet, pinching the ends together. Brush with the reserved 1 tbsp melted butter.

  5. 5

    Bake until golden brown and puffed, 20-25 minutes. While warm, brush with the 2 tbsp honey and dust with powdered sugar.
