• warm the milk in a small saucepan until it , then remove from heat. let cool until lukewarm. in a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• in a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, milk, sugar, oil, baking powder, salt, egg and 3 cups flour. beat until smooth. stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. when the dough has pulled together, turn it out a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• heat brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter until melted. remove from heat; stir in corn syrup. divide mixture between two 9x13 inch baking pans. sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans in each pan.
• when dough has doubled in size, punch down and turn out a lightly floured surface. roll out into a large rectangle and spread with butter. sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. starting with the long side, roll up the rectangle into a log, and slice into 1 inch wide rolls. place the rolls slightly apart in pans. wrap pans with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 12 hours but no longer than 48.
• remove rolls from refrigerator and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• bake uncovered in preheated oven until golden 30 to 35 minutes. immediately invert pan on heatproof serving plate. wait for 1 or 2 minutes before removing pan, so that caramel drizzles over rolls.
