Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover dough with a warm bowl, and let rest 30 minutes.
2. Combine next 7 ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mixing well. Add preserves and pineapple; mix well. Set aside.
3. Divide dough into 7 equal portions. Roll 1 portion into a 15- x 10-inch rectangle, rolling as thin as possible without tearing. Brush surface of dough with oil. Combine cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar; sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar mixture evenly over surface of dough. Set remaining sugar mixture aside.
4. Spread 1 1/2 cups fruit mixture along wide end of dough, leaving a 1-inch margin along outside edges. Sprinkle 1/4 cup pecans over fruit mixture.
