1. Grease a 13- x 9-inch baking pan and spread pecans and maple syrup evenly over the bottom.
   
   
2. Combine 2 cups flour, granulated sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Stir in water, 2 tablespoons butter and egg. Beat until smooth; gradually stir in remaining flour until soft dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
