¼ cup sugar
1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
For the Filling:
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the Maple Pecan Topping:

Instructions
Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir in milk, melted butter, and egg. Knead until dough is smooth. Let rise 1 hour, until doubled.
In a saucepan, melt butter for topping. Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Simmer 1 minute, then pour into greased 9×13-inch pan. Sprinkle pecans over top.
Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread with butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and slice into 12 pieces.
Place rolls cut-side down on top of maple-pecan mixture. Let rise 30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter to reveal the sticky topping.
