Caramel-Pecan Monkey Bread

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110&deg to 115&deg;)
 1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup melted butter divided
 1-1/4 cups sugar divided
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 CARAMEL:
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter cubed
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup chopped pecans divided
 OPTIONAL GLAZE:
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup butter softened
 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons 2% milk

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, eggs and 5 tablespoons melted butter; stir in 1/4 cup sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Refrigerate, covered, overnight., Punch dough down; shape into 40 balls (about 1-1/4-in. diameter). Pour remaining melted butter in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar. Dip balls in butter, then roll in sugar mixture., For caramel, bring brown sugar, butter and cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Pour half of the caramel into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; layer with half the pecans and half the dough balls; repeat. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 350degrees. Bake until golden brown, 30-40 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil for last 10 minutes if top browns too quickly.) Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate., For optional glaze, beat cream cheese and butter until blended; gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Add enough milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
