For the Dough

In a large mixing bowl add yeast, sugar, 3 cups flour, salt and powdered milk.

Spread melted butter over the rolled out dough, then spread brown sugar over half your dough and generously spring with cinnamon and chopped pecans.
Fold remaining dough over the half that is covered in your topping. Use a pizza wheel to cut your dough into 1'' strips and twist your strips into knots.
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit about 3-5 minutes and then spread with frosting.

Transfer to another bowl and using a hand held mixer beat in confectioners sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until perfect spreading consistency is achieved and spread on your caramel rolls.

Notes

You can also make these the night before and keep them in the fridge overnight, then pull them out an hour or so early and pop them in the oven after they are room temperature!
