When ready to bake, roll dough into an oblong shape on a well-floured surface, about ¼ inch thick. Filling: in a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins and pecans. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture, leaving a 1inch border. Roll dough to form a jelly roll. With a serrated knife cut the roll into 1inch slices. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart and allow to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Generously sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 22-24 minutes. Allow rolls to cool slightly on wire racks placed over wax paper. Icing: mix confectioners’ sugar and milk together until smooth. Drizzle icing over rolls and serve.
