Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.

Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Steps:

• You will need:.
• 2 cookie sheets (lined with parchment or lined with foil) or 2 jelly roll pans (lined with parchment or lined with foil).
• Dough:.
• Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat, until it is just lukewarm, about 110 degrees. Pour the milk into the bowl of an electric mixer, and whisk in the yeast by hand.
• Whisk in the butter, sugar, and cardamom.
• Use a large rubber spatula to stir in the flour. Place the bowl on the mixer with the paddle attachment and beat the dough on lowest speed for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer, and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
• Beat the dough on medium speed for 2 more minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
• Scrape the dough into a buttered bowl, and turn the dough over so that the top is buttered.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Scrape the risen dough out onto a floured work surface, and lightly flour the dough. Press the dough into a rough rectangle.
• Roll the dough to a rectangle that is 12x18".
• Filling:.
• Use a pastry brush to paint the dough with the melted butter.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, and evenly sprinkle on the buttered dough.
• Roll up the dough jelly-roll style from one of the 18" ends, being careful not to stretch the dough in the length at the same time.
• Cut the dough into 24 3/4"slices.
• Arrange the spirals of dough, cut sides up, on the prepared pans, keeping them about 2" apart in all directions. Press in on the edges of the spirals if necessary to make sure that they are even round shapes.
• Paint the tops of the rolls with the egg wash, and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar.
• Cover the pans with towels or buttered plastic wrap, and let the rolls rise until they are not quite doubled, about 30 minutes.
• About 15 minutes before the rolls are risen, set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 375.
• Bake the rolls for about 15 minutes, then change the positions of the pans so that the lower pan is on the upper rack, and vice versa. Turn the pans back to front at the same time.
• Bake the rolls for another 5-10 minutes, or until they are well colored and firm to the touch.
• Slide the papers from the pans to racks to cool the rolls.
