Prep: Prepare the Zestuous Yeast Roll Dough according to the recipe. Like the recipe says, allow it to refrigerate for at least six hours, if possible.
Roll: Once chilled, the dough will be hard. Remove it from the bowl onto a lightly floured countertop. Roll the dough into a large rectangle. The dough should be about ¼ inch thick.
Cut: Cut the dough in half.
Mix: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the two halves of dough.
Roll: From the longest side, roll the dough into a cylinder. If it sticks to the counter as you roll it, use your pastry scraper to get under the dough and lightly flour, as needed. If needed, moisten the end of the dough with a little water, so the roll stays closed. Repeat with the other half of dough.
Slice: Using the pastry scraper, cut off the ends of the dough roll. Then, continue to slice the roll into ½-inch circles. Place the circles on a silpat-lined pan and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Bake: Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. They should be golden brown.
Mix: In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar. Using a large spoon, drizzle the icing onto the pan of rolls. Using a spatula, remove from the pan and serve on a large platter.
