3
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly across the dough.
4
Either roll the dough first then slice it, or slice first then roll each piece — the latter is easier.

Line the bottom of the baking pan with the salty-sweet caramel and scatter plenty of pecans over it.
6
Arrange the rolled buns on top of the caramel-pecan layer, then bake the pan upside down.
