Easy Monkey Bread (using frozen bread dough)

16 oz. loaf frozen bread dough, thawed in refrigerator overnight (Rhodes is a good brand, but any will work fine. I have also used ones I bought from the boy scouts)

1 stick butter, melted

1 c. packed light brown sugar

2 t. cinnamon

2 T. chopped pecans, optional

Once bread is thawed, turn out into lightly greased cutting board and pat into an 8" square. Using a large knife, cut into 64 pieces. Roll into balls. (It's ok if they're not all the same size.) Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Dip the balls into butter, and then roll in the brown sugar mixture. Place in sprayed bundt pan. Cover the pan with a towel and place pan in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours. It should rise to almost the rim of the pan. Bake at 350 for 20-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. (Dark coated pans cook faster so keep an eye on yours if using one.) Cool in pan for 5 minutes only and invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm with a sprinkle of chopped pecans, if desired. Yum!

Unfortunately it didn't stick together well when I inverted it from the pan, but it still tasted yummy!
