Spray a 9 x 9 baking dish with Pam. Melt butter, sugar and corn syrup in medium saucepan, over medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour 1/2 cup of the mixture into the pan. Add 1/2 cup of nuts, (optional). Set aside. On a floured surface, roll bread dough into a 14 x 12 rectangle. Spread remaining syrup over dough and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Roll up, starting from long side. With serrated knife, cut 9 slices about 1 1/2 inch thick and arrange rolls flat side down in pan. Cover buns with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place about 45 minutes, until they fill the pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake buns about 35 minutes, until lightly browned and dough is cooked through, checking with a wooden toothpick. Invert onto serving dish.
