• dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in a large bowl. set aside for 5 minutes. stir flour, eggs, warm milk, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and salt into the yeast and water until the mixture is a moist and sticky dough.
• put dough in a greased bowl and cover with a wet towel. set aside in a warm place until dough doubles in size and holes poked into dough with a finger stay indented, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• stir brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, honey, and corn syrup together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. pour the topping mixture into the bottom of 2 9x13-inch non-stick baking dishes. sprinkle 1 cup raisins and walnuts evenly the topping mixture.
• punch down dough and roll into a rectangle shape 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
• brush 1/4 cup melted butter over the dough rectangle. stir 3/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the butter. sprinkle 1 cup raisins evenly over the dough. roll dough around the filling into a cylinder; cut into 3/4-inch slices and arrange into the baking dishes. set aside to rest for 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• bake rolls in preheated oven until no longer doughy in the middle, about 25 minutes. immediately flip a serving platter, transferring topping rolls, and serve warm.
