Warm milk in the microwave for 1 minute

Add milk, yeast, and sugar in stand mixer cover with a warm damp towel for 15 min.

Add butter eggs and salt and mix with the dough hook for 2-3 minutes.

Add flour ½ cup at a time on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Don't use the extra half cup if it doesn't need it. The dough should be sticky but not gluey.

Turn over on floured work surface, knead approximately 15 times.

Roll into a ball and placed in an oiled bowl to let double in size cover with cling wrap and then with a towel for 3hrs.

While your dough is proofing let's toast the pecans lightly in a hot pan (high heat)  or oven/ 400 degree/ oven for 2-3min.

Grease a glass oven-safe dish min of 9"x12" using butter or nonstick spray.

Place toasted pecans on the greased dish.

In a small saucepan combine a stick of butter, milk, syrup, salt, and extract bring to simmer and cook for 5 min on low. Sugar and milk will reduce down.

Let cool and pour over pecans.

Dump the proofed bread onto a lightly floured surface and roll dough approximately 9" x 18" and should be ¼ thick. Rub softened butter all over the dough, mix sugar and spices together then sprinkle all over the butter.

Start rolling the pastry from the top-down closer to your body. On last roll pinch together and on pinched end roll flat on that side. Make 12- 14  even cuts and place on top of the pecan mixture.

Place the parchment paper on top of rolls and cover in cling wrap and refrigerate overnight. Uncover next morning let it come up to room temperature 1-½ hrs and then bake 375 for 30 min. Until the top is golden brown.
