Yield: 10 Servings

4 sl Applewood smoked bacon
1 c Packed brown sugar
1/3 c Maple Nut Butter
1/4 c Whipping cream
1 tb Vanilla
1/4 ts Chinese five-spice powder or
- ground allspice
16 oz Loaf frozen sweet roll
- dough; thawed
1 c Chopped pecans
1 c Golden raisins

MMMMM----------------------MAPLE NUT BUTTER---------------------------
1 c Butter, softened
1/2 c Pecan halves, toasted
1/4 c Pure maple syrup

In a food processor combine butter, pecan halves, and
maple syrup. Cover and process until nuts are finely
chopped. Store leftover mixture in refrigerator and serve
with pancakes, waffles, or French toast.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until
crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings in
skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble bacon. Add
brown sugar, Maple Nut Butter, and whipping cream to the
skillet; stir until melted. Stir in vanilla and spice.

Lightly grease a 10" fluted tube pan; set aside. Cut
thawed bread dough into 1- to 1-1/2-inch pieces. Arrange
one-third of the bread pieces, half of the crumbled
bacon, half of the pecans, and half of the raisins in
prepared tube pan. Drizzle one-third of the whipping
cream mixture evenly over the bread pieces. Top with
another one-third of the bread pieces and the remaining
bacon, pecans, and raisins. Drizzle with another
one-third of the whipping cream mixture. Top with the
remaining bread pieces and the remaining whipping cream
mixture.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost double in
size (about 45 minutes).

Meanwhile, Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until bread springs back
when lightly touched. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10
minutes. Invert onto a serving platter; remove pan.

Serve warm.
