Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (real pumpkin)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

For the Icing:

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
    3/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • In a large bowl, mix 2 1/4 cups of flour and salt.
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • In a large bowl, mix in melted butter, pumpkin puree, and egg with the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the Filling:

  • In a small bowl, blend softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Form the Rolls:

  • Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the pumpkin spice filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly from one of the long sides and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each roll.
  • Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake the Rolls:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. If they brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.

Make the Cream Cheese Icing:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
    1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Gradually add the milk until you reach your desired icing consistency.
    2-3 tbsp milk

Finish the Rolls:

  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with the cream cheese icing.
