Scale
For the dough:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and rise: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Fill and roll: Roll out the dough, spread with softened butter and sugar-spice mixture. Roll up and cut into rolls. Arrange in a baking dish and let rise.
- Bake: Preheat the oven and bake the rolls until golden brown.
- Glaze and serve: Whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the filling.
- These rolls can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before the second rise; bake the next morning.
