Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Starter
1 pk Yeast
1/4 c Warm water
1/2 c Milk
1/4 c Butter -- melted
1/4 c Honey
1/2 ts Salt
3 1/4 c Flour -- approx.
-----FILLING-----
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Brown sugar
1 tb Orange peel -- grated
1/4 c Honey
1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Pecans
1 t Orange extract

Soften yeast in water; stir in milk, batter, butter,
honey, and salt. Gradually mix in 3 c of the flour;
dough will be sticky. Turn dough into a greased bowl,
turn over to grease top; cover, and let rise in a warm
place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead
until smooth, about 5 min.; add flour if necessary to
prevent dough from sticking. Roll dough out into a
12x15 inch rectangle; spread orange-nut filling
evenly over dough. Starting with the long side, roll
up jelly-roll fashion. Cut across roll into 15 slices
about 1 inch each and arrange, cut-side-up in a well
greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise
until almost double, about 45 minutes.

Bake in a 350^ oven for 35 minutes or until browned on
top. Transfer rolls to a serving board; quickly scrape
out any syrup in pan and spread it over rolls. Serve
them warm or reheated in a 350^ oven, lightly covered
with foil, for about 20 minutes. Makes 15 rolls.

Note: I would like to try this with cinnamon instead
of the orange flavoring.
