Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Dough

1. Warm 1 cup whole milk in the microwave in 20-second increments until it reaches 105-110°F (about the temperature of a warm bath).

2. Stir in 1 tbsp yeast and 5 tbsp granulated sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.

3. Whisk in 2 eggs until smooth.

4. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine flour and salt.

5. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix using the paddle attachment until just combined.

Step 2: Knead and Rise

1. Switch to a dough hook (or knead by hand) and gradually add ½ cup softened butter, kneading for 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth.

2. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Sauce

1. In a saucepan, melt ¾ cup butter over medium heat.

2. Stir in brown sugar, honey, heavy cream, water, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until smooth.

3. Pour caramel sauce into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle toasted pecans over the caramel.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

1. Roll out the risen dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.

2. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.

3. Roll up tightly from the long side and cut into 12 equal slices.

Step 5: Second Rise & Bake

1. Place rolls over the caramel pecan layer. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 6: Flip & Serve

1. Let rolls cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter so the caramel drips over the rolls.

2. Serve warm and enjoy these soft, sticky, caramel-drizzled pecan rolls!
