Main Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk warmed to about 105°F
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar divided
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1.5 cups pecans chopped

- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Add remaining sugar, flour, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 slices. Place in a greased baking dish and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
