To make dough:
In a 2-cup liquid measure dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand until
foamy, about 5 minutes. Place flour, butter, remaining sugar and salt in the work bowl fitted
with the dough blade. Process to combine, about 20 seconds. Stir milk and egg into yeast
mixture. With motor running, pour liquid mixture through the small feed tube as fast as the
flour absorbs it. Process until dough cleans the sides of the work bowl, then process for 45
seconds to knead dough. Transfer to a plastic food storage bag and seal top. Let rise in a
warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
To make topping / assemble buns:
Insert metal blade in work bowl and pulse to coarsely chop pecans, about 5 to 6 times.
Reserve. Combine sugar and cinnamon; reserve. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface
and punch dough down. Roll into a 9 x 9-inch square. Spread with softened butter, sprinkle
with cinnamon/sugar mixture and top with raisins. Roll dough up tightly and pinch seam to
seal. Using a serrated knife, cut into 9 slices (about 1 inch thick).
Pour melted butter into a 9 x 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and reserved pecans
over butter. Place buns, cut side up, in pan. Cover with plastic wrap coated with vegetable oil
cooking spray and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes. Fifteen minutes before baking,
preheat oven to 375˚ F.
Bake in preheated 375˚ F oven until tops are well browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from
oven and invert pan immediately onto serving plate, allowing sugar mixture to drip onto buns.
Scrape any remaining sugar/nut mixture onto buns and serve warm.
Preparation: 25 – 30 minutes, plus 3 hours to rise and bake
