Ingredients
For The Dough
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk warmed
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 packet Active Dry Yeast
- 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
For The Filling
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/4 cup Butter softened
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast. In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F and stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it’s frothy.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and eggs. Add the yeast mixture and stir until smooth.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the wet ingredients. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- First Rise. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and softened butter until well combined.
- Roll Out the Dough. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the Filling. Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the dough.
- Roll and Cut. Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side, and cut it into 12 even pieces.
- Second Rise. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the Rolls. Once the rolls have slightly cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
- Enjoy! Serve warm with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
