Directions
Dough —
- Heat milk to 115° F. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar in warm milk and allow to proof for 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, remaining ¼ cup maple sugar, and salt using a dough hook attachment. With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in the yeast mixture.
- Mix in butter and vanilla, followed by one egg at a time. Increase speed, mixing until dough comes together. If the dough is still sticky, add additional flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a smooth ball.
- Transfer to a large, greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise in a warm location until doubled in size, roughly 1 hour.
Prepare a pan with parchment paper or grease.
Filling —
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, maple sugar, and cinnamon.
The Build —
- Roll dough into a 10x20-inch rectangle.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown/maple sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Sprinkle with crushed pecans to the desired amount.
- Starting at a short end, begin tightly rolling the dough, pinching ends as you roll. Pinch seams together to seal well.

- Place in prepared baking sheet, cover loosely, and allow to rise in a warm location for one hour or until doubled in size.
