Pumpkin Pull-Apart Bread

By msippigrl

Refrigerated pizza crust dough is spread with butter and a pumpkin filling, cut into squares, then stacked into a loaf pan and baked. To serve, it's drizzled with caramel syrup/sauce then pulled off in individual servings.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (I used dark)
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Crust Dough
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• Flour for the work surface
• Caramel Ice Cream Syrup/Sauce for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease or spray an 8x4" loaf pan with cooking spray. (A cheap disposable pan works best).

In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin, brown sugar, spices. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.

Lightly flour a work surface; roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle. Brush the melted butter over the dough (or just use a spoon to spread it out). Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the dough.

Using a pizza cutter, starting on a long side cut the dough lengthwise into 3 long strips, and then crosswise into 6 strips- creating small rectangles.

Stand your loaf pan vertically on one end then stack dough pieces. (To keep my loaf pan upright, I stood it up vertically inside a pot). When all pieces are in, give the pan a little shake pan so that it fully fills the pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack then remove from pan onto a serving dish.

To serve, drizzle with caramel sauce then pull you off a sticky slab and enjoy! It's finger-lickin' good!!
