Prepare the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling and Topping

1. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. Make the Topping: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cream. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Assemble the Buns

1. Roll the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
2. Spread the Filling: Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough.
3. Roll Up the Dough: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices.
4. Arrange the Buns: Place the slices cut-side up in the baking dish on top of the pecan topping.
5. Let Rise: Cover and let the buns rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.

Bake the Buns

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake: Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
3. Invert the Buns: Once baked, carefully invert the baking dish onto a serving platter to reveal the sticky pecan topping.
