Instructions
  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer add the warm water, yeast and 4T sugar. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast has bloomed and becomes foamy.
  2. Add the flour and salt and mix with the dough hook until it all comes together. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and forms a ball.
  3. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead a few more times. Add more flour of the dough is too sticky.
  4. Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl and turn it over so that the top is coated with oil and cover with a damp dishcloth. Let rise for 1 hour. It will double in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350
  6. Make the filling by mixing the cinnamon, butter and 3T sugar together.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll out into a 9" circle. Sprinkle the pecans onto the dough and and using the rolling pin press the pecans gently into the dough.
  8. Spread the filling onto dough.
  9. Starting on one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Transfer the log seam side down into a buttered and floured loaf pan and cover with a damp dishcloth. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes. It will rise quite a bit and the top will brown.
  11. Remove and let it cool slightly before slicing.
