          \n
        1. \n
            \n

          2. Add sugar, melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix well.<\/li>\n
          3. Gradually add flour and salt, stirring until the dough starts coming together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.<\/li>\n
            2. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Step 2: Make the Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                        \n
                      1. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 14\u00d79-inch rectangle.<\/li>\n
                      2. Spread the cinnamon-pecan filling evenly over the dough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
