Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
• Add salt, melted butter, and remaining sugar. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Roll out the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle with pecans. Roll up tightly, starting from the long side. Slice into 12 rolls and place them in the prepared pan.
• Cover and let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve warm.
