• Slightly stir eggs so that yolks and whites are mixed. Add to the bread machine.
• Add the remaining dough ingredients to the bread machine in the order listed above.
• If you bread machine has a "dough" setting, use that. If not, run your machine through the first cycle. My machine beeps at the end of the first cycle, but I also have a dough option.
• FILLING.
• When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and put it on a floured board. Using your hands, spread the dough evenly to approximately to a 15" x 8" rectangle.
• Spread the butter over the dough and sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over that. The quantities for the filling are approximate, so feel free to play.
• Starting on the long side, roll the dough up and cut it into 12 pieces.
• TOPPING.
• In the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan, mix butter, brown sugar, syrup and pecans (again, the quantities are approximate, so feel free to increase or decrease). Add the 12 rolls.
• Cover the rolls with a clean towel and put the pan in a warm place to rise.
• Let the rolls rise until they're up to the top of the pan (can take up to an hour).
• Remove and bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.

NANA'S CARAMEL PECAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook, and let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining sugar, and salt. Turn the mixer on low, and pour the egg mixture over the yeast; mix until well combined, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour, and mix until smooth. Add the melted butter, and mix well. Add the remaining 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix until the dough has a smooth, elastic texture.
• Lightly oil another large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours (or, at this point, the dough can be refrigerated overnight, then rolled out and filled the next day).
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
• After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, and roll it into a 12 × 15-inch rectangle (the size of a half-sheet tray). Using a rubber spatula, spread 1/2 cup of the butter mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the butter with 1/2 cup of the pecans and the raisins. Starting with the long edge, roll the dough, jelly roll-style, into a large pinwheel cylinder. Cut the cylinder into nine equal rolls.
• Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch cake pan, then spread the remaining butter mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Arrange the dough slices in staggered rows of three (pinwheel swirl side down), three across and three down on top of the butter mixture. Press each dough piece lightly to spread into an even circle. The slices in the rows across should just touch; there will be a space between the rows down. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft free spot for 45 minutes to an hour, until the rolls have doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Bake the rolls, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on a baking rack. Using a sharp knife, cut around the sides of pan. Place a large baking sheet over the pan. Using oven mitts, hold the baking sheet and pan together tightly and flip over, releasing the cinnamon rolls onto the baking sheet (use a rubber spatula to scrape any remaining buttery syrup or nuts onto the tops of the rolls). Serve the cinnamon rolls warm or at room temperature.
