Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm milk. Let stand until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

3. 3

   Stir yeast mixture, oil, and egg into flour mixture until a dough forms.

4. 4

   To prepare filling, in a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Mix well.

5. 5

   On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each half to a 12x9-inch rectangle.

6. 6

   Sprinkle each rectangle with half of the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly press filling into dough. Starting with a short side, roll up dough, jelly-roll style. Cut each piece into 6 rolls. Place rolls in prepared pan. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 425°F Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool slightly. Serve warm.
