1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon imitation vanilla, clear flavor (Tone's brand)
1 egg, beaten
5 - 5 3/4 cups bread flour
Caramel Pecan Mixture
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Karo light corn syrup

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened

2 teaspoons tone's ground cinnamon

Preparation

For Rolls:
Dissolve yeast in warm water, in a large mixing bowl; let rest 2 to 3 minutes.
Add dry milk, butter, sugar, salt, vanilla and egg; mix well. Gradually add in enough flour to make a soft dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat.
Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
While dough is rising, make Caramel Pecan Mixture:
Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and cream in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and pour an equal amount of hot syrup into two 8 x 8-inch greased pans.
Sprinkle toasted pecans on top of syrup.
Set aside.
Punch dough down.
Roll out onto a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin to a 16 x 12-inch rectangle.
To apply Cinnamon Filling, spread 1/4 cup butter over surface.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over dough.
Roll up jellyroll style.
Slice into 8 rolls.
Place 4 rolls, cut side down, in each of the 2 pans, on top of Caramel Pecan Mixture.
Cover and let rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Bake in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
Invert rolls on to serving plate or parchment paper.
*To toast pecans, spread on a shallow baking sheet and bake in 350\u00b0F oven for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once.
Remove from oven.
