2 large eggs, room temperature
-
5 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
5 cups all-purpose flour

CARAMEL SAUCE:
-
1 cup butter, cubed
-
2 cups packed brown sugar
-
1/4 cup corn syrup
-
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans

FILLING:

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions

1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the eggs, butter, sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3.
Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Boil over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with pecans; set aside.
-
4.
Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface. Roll into a 17x15-in. rectangle. Spread butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.

Cut into 15 slices. Place cut side down over caramel sauce. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
