Filling

1 Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, coffee, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

Icing

1 In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients until mixture is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Rolls

1 In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt.
2 Add the egg, mixing with a fork and your hands to obtain a flaky texture.
3 In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (125°F).
4 Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and combine using a fork, then knead by hand for 2 - 3 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
5 Shape dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl, coating the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a dish towel, then leave it in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
6 Butter a 9” round cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
7 Deflate the dough by punching it down using the palm of your hand, then place it onto a floured surface.
8 Using a rolling pin, roll dough out into an 8" x 12" rectangle.
9 Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a ½” border.
10 Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture and pecans over the butter.
11 Roll from the 8" end to form a log with the seam facing down.
12 Cut log into 8 slices and place rolls close together in the cake pan.
13 Cover with plastic wrap and a dish cloth and leave in a warm place until rolls have doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
14 Preheat the oven to 375°F.
15 Bake for 18 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
16 Remove pan from oven and leave it to cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
17 Decorate rolls with icing and serve immediately.
