Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the yeast mixture until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
5. Prepare filling by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. Melt butter with maple syrup for topping.
6. Roll out risen dough into a rectangle; spread melted butter and sprinkle filling evenly over it.
7. Roll tightly into a log shape, slice into 1-inch thick rolls, and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
8. Pour syrup mixture over rolls; let them rise again for approximately 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; cool slightly before serving.
