Ingredients
- 4 1/2 – 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 packages active-dry yeast
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Combine warm milk and water in a mixing bowl; add yeast and let sit until foamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.
- Mix yeast mixture into dry ingredients; add beaten egg and melted butter until combined. Gradually add more flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (about an hour).
- Prepare the topping by melting remaining butter; mix with corn syrup and brown sugar.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle; brush with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.
- Roll tightly into a log, slice into equal pieces, and place chopped pecans in a greased baking dish.
- Pour topping over pecans and arrange dough pieces on top. Let rise for another 30-40 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
