Ingredients
16ouncebread doughwhite bread, thawed in refrigerator according to package directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
Roll and stretch thawed frozen bread dough into a 12 inch square, on lightly floured board. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 16 small squares.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, vanilla and salt. Spread evenly over the rolled bread dough. In another bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle over the spread butter mixture, pressing lightly.
Stack bread dough pieces into four stacks of four squares each.
Place each stack on it's side in the prepared loaf pan. Gently separate the squares so the dough fills the pan and the squares are touching. Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and set the loaf in a warm place until the dough rises by half it's size, about 2 hours.
Bake the loaf until browned and cooked thru, about 40-45 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
Remove the loaf from the oven and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired. Let cool 15 minutes in the pan, then loosen the sides with a knife. Transfer the loaf to a plate and let cool an additional 30 minutes.
To Make Cinnamon Sugar
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle over hot bread loaf.
