Ingredients:
- 1 cups - Milk pastry
- 1/4 cups - Butter pastry
- 2 packages - Active dry yeast 0.25 ounce package pastry
- 2/3 cups - Warm water- 110 degrees F pastry
- 1/2 cups - White sugar pastry
- 2 pieces - Eggs pastry
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - Salt pastry
- 1/2 teaspoons - Fresh grated nutmeg pastry
- 5 1/2 cups - All-purpose flour pastry
- 1 cups - Packed brown sugar filling
- 1 tablespoons - Ground cinnamon filling
- 2/3 cups - Chopped pecans filling

Directions:
1. Scald milk, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of butter. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water with 1 tablespoon of the white sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. When yeast mixture is bubbling, add the cooled milk mixture. Whisk in the eggs. Stir in the remaining white sugar, salt and nutmeg. Beat the flour into milk/egg mixture 1 cup at a time. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a camp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 2 hours. When risen, punch down and divide dough in half.
4. Preheat over to 375 degrees F, grease 2 cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
5. To make filling: combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup raisins. Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over the cinnamon mixture and mix until crumbly.
6. Roll dough halves out into large rectangles (approximately 10x16 inches or so). Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough and roll up each half tightly like a jelly roll, beginning
