Steps:
- Prepare the dough; In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in milk, sugar, butter, salt, egg, and 2 cups flour. Mix until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups flour, and mix, using your hands, until incorporated.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Spray the inside of a large bowl with cooking spray; transfer dough to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down dough, and let rise again until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Prepare the topping: Spray muffin tin with cooking spray, and place over a baking sheet. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and pecan halves. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Divide pecan mixture between muffin tins.
- For the filling: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 12-by-12-inch square. Spread butter over dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up dough, and stretch to even out, if necessary. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 slices (1 inch each). Transfer slices to muffin tins, and let rise for 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecan rolls until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and immediately invert onto heatproof plate. Without removing muffin tin, let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.

GRANDMOTHER STOUGAARD'S CARAMEL PECAN SWEET ROLLS
This is an Stougaard old family favorite. Not the easiest to make, but well worth the trouble. Gooey and sweet. Best eaten fresh from the oven. I usually double the recipe, because if you go to the trouble to make yeast rolls--make lots. Milk can also be warmed in the microwave.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan, and set over medium heat. Heat just until a skin starts to form on the top, then remove from the stove, and stir in salt and 1/4 cup margarine. Allow to cool to lukewarm.

- In a large bowl, stir together the cooled milk mixture and the yeast for 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add egg, and mix well. Use a large wooden spoon to stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture forms a dough.

In a medium bowl, mix together the corn syrup, 1 1/2 tablespoons of water, 3 tablespoons of margarine and brown sugar until smooth. Spread an even layer onto the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish. Place pecan halves upside down in rows over the sugar mixture. Set aside.
