# Instructions:

01 - Warm milk to 110°F in the microwave (about 45 seconds). Sprinkle yeast over warm milk and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy
02 - In a large bowl, mix sifted flour with sugar and salt. Work in the cubed butter using your hands or a pastry cutter until butter pieces are pea-sized
03 - Add beaten eggs and yeast mixture to flour. Using a stand mixer with dough hook, mix on low until combined, then knead on medium for 5 minutes until smooth
04 - Place dough in a greased bowl. For quick rise, let it rise in a warm oven (preheated to 200°F then turned off) for 1 hour. For overnight, cover and refrigerate
05 - Beat room temperature butter until smooth, then mix in brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined
06 - Beat butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes. Add maple syrup, cream, vanilla, salt, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Spread in prepared pan and sprinkle with pecans
07 - Roll dough into a rectangle ¼-inch thick. Spread with cinnamon filling, roll into a log, and cut into 6 equal pieces
08 - Place rolls in pan with sticky topping, let rise 20 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 28-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before flipping

# Notes:

01 - Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight
02 - For hand kneading, work dough 5-8 minutes until you can see light through a stretched piece
03 - All dairy ingredients should be at room temperature
04 - Measure flour by spooning into measuring cup and leveling for best results
