Instructions

• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it stand until foamy.
• Stir in the warm milk, granulated sugar, half of the melted butter, and egg.
• Add flour and salt gradually to form a soft dough, then knead until smooth.
• Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Roll the dough into a rectangle and brush with some of the remaining melted butter.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over the dough, and roll it up tightly.
• Pour maple syrup into a greased baking pan and scatter the pecans over it.
• Slice the dough roll into 12 pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan.
• Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
• Cool briefly, then invert the pan onto a serving platter while the syrup is warm.
