Prepare the dough by kneading for at least 5 minutes by machine or hand.

Set the dough aside to rise in a bowl in the oven for approximately 1 hour until doubled in size.

Prepare the pan by pouring melted butter, maple syrup, and salt over the pecans spread in the pan.

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle.

Spread the filling of softened butter, cinnamon, and sugar over the rolled-out dough.

Roll the dough into a tight cylinder.

Slice the cylinder into 12 to 15 rolls and return them to the pan.

Place the pan in the oven to proof for about 30 minutes until the rolls are puffy.

If not cooking immediately, cover the rolls and refrigerate overnight, then proof them at room temperature the next morning.

Change the oven mode to convection bake, set the temperature to 325°F, and bake for 25 minutes.

After baking, place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.

Invert the pan onto a rimmed baking sheet or platter.
