My mom used you let us make something similar with her leftover pie dough. You don't have to be a pro.
1 package dry yeast	¼ cup warm water
2 cups all purpose flour	1½ tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt	1 cup butter/margerine, melted
½ cup milk, scalded	1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons butter, melted	2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon	¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water, let stand 5 minutes. 2 Combine flour, 1½ tablespoons sugar and salt in large mixing bowl. 3 Cut 1 cup butter into flour mixture with pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal. 4 Combine milk, egg yolk, and yeast mixture; add to flour mixture, mixing well. Chill dough 2 hours. 5 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. 6 Roll dough onto an 18x10-inch rectangle on floured surface; brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. 7 Combine 2 cups sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle 1 cup of mixture over dough. Roll up jellyroll fashion; pinch long edge. Cut into 1-inch slices. 8 Sprinkle portion of cinnamon mixture onto waxed paper and roll out each slice to 1/4-inch thickness. 9 Put slices on ungreased baking sheet; baste with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture and nuts. 10 Bake at 400º for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
