Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the baking process.
- Use fresh yeast: Active dry yeast is the most common type of yeast used in baking. Make sure it is fresh and active before using it. To test the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will foam up and create a bubbly mixture.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in developing the gluten, which gives the buns their structure and texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room. You can place the dough in a warm oven (turned off) or in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the buns: When cutting the buns, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts. This will help the buns rise evenly in the oven.
- Bake the buns at a high temperature: The buns should be baked at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes). This will help them develop a golden brown crust and a fluffy interior.
- Brush the buns with melted butter: After the buns are baked, brush them with melted butter. This will give them a shiny glaze and help keep them moist.
