Pecan Roll with Cinnamon

'Lightly grease a large baking dish.'

'In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon.'

'On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to form a circle.'

'Let it rest for 5 minutes and then use a rolling pin to shape into a 30cm circle.'

'Dust with the sugar mixture, leaving a 1cm border around the entire circumference.'

'Cut into 8 triangles (like cutting pizza).'

'Gently press the filling into the dough.'

'Starting with the longest side, roll up in one direction.'

'Place the tip of each roll under the baking dish, leaving about 5cm between rolls.'

'Curve the two ends to meet in the middle.'

'Cover with a cloth and let rise in a protected area for about 45 minutes.'

'Preheat the oven to moderate temperature (170°C).'

'Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water.'

'Brush the pastry rolls with this mixture.'

'Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar and cinnamon.'

'Bake for 15 minutes or until golden, then let cool slightly.'
