Servings: persons

1 ¼ cups milk
⅓ cup canola oil (can use vegetable oil)
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 ¾ cups flour
2 ¼ teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 teaspoon maple flavoring (can use 2 tsp maple syrup)
1 ½ cups finely chopped pecans (can use walnuts)
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 teaspoons maple flavoring (can use 6 tsp maple syrup)
⅓ cup butter, melted

1
Place all dough ingredients in order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.
2
Select dough cycle and start machine.
3
Combine the first five filling ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside.
4
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds.
5
Roll one portion of the dough into a 12 inch circle.
6
Transfer to a greased 12 inch pizza pan or a large greased cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper instead of greasing it.
7
It's very easy to lift from the pan that way).
8
Brush with a third of the butter; sprinkle with a third of the filling.
9
Repeat twice with the remaining dough, butter, and filling, placing each circle of dough over the previous layer.
10
Pinch outer edges to seal.
11
Place a small glass in the center of the dough.
12
With kitchen shears, cut from the outer edge to the glass to form 16 wedges.
13
Remove the glass; twist each wedge three times.
14
Cover with plastic wrap.
15
Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
16
Uncover dough.
17
Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes until deep golden brown, checking frequently for doneness.
18
Remove from pan to a wire rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
