Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. On a floured surface, roll the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle.
Step 2
Brush the dough with 1 tbsp melted butter, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 cup dried fruit, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 3
Cut the dough into 3 long strips, then braid the strips together, pinching the ends to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4
Brush the braid with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15-18 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
