- Stir 2 cups flour into milk mixture, beating constantly. Add yeast mixture and 1/2 cup flour, stirring well.
- Beat egg white (at room temperature) until stiff peaks form; fold into flour mixture. Stir in remaining flour (about 1 1/2 cups) to make a soft dough.

- Combine remaining 1 cup brown sugar, coconut, pecans, and cinnamon; stir well, and sprinkle half of mixture evenly over dough. Roll up jellyroll fashion, starting at long side. Pinch seams and ends together. Cut roll into 1-inch slices. Place slices, cut side down, in prepared jellyroll pan. Repeat procedure with remaining dough and cinnamon mixture.
- Cover, and let rise in a warm place (85u0b0), free from drafts, 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 to 30 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and water, stirring well; drizzle over rolls. Serve warm.
