Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Dough hook (if using a stand mixer)
  • Parchment paper or non-stick spray

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (warm)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or use a dough hook with a stand mixer for 3 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • 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 it has doubled in size.
  • While the dough is rising, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional spices in a small bowl until well combined.
  • 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 cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased or parchment-lined 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Once the rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm. Serve and enjoy!
