Directions:
In a large bowl; dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt and 3 cups of flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic. You can also use a dough hook on the mixer; about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turning to coat the top also. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size; about 1 hour.

Carmel; in a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter and cream to a boil. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour half of Carmel into the bottom of a buttered 10 inch Bundt pan; sprinkle with half of the pecans.

Punch dough down; shape dough into 40 - 1 1/4 inch balls. In a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Place melted butter in another bowl. Dip dough balls in butter, then in sugar mixture.

Place 20 balls in the prepared pan; top with remaining Carmel and pecans. Top with remaining balls. Cover and let rise until double in size; about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350º for 20-35 minutes or until golden brown. (Cover loosely with foil if the tops brown to quickly.) Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
