  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet quick-rise yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar for frosting
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until comfortable; mix with yeast and let froth.
  2. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and egg in the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually stir in flour and salt until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise for about one hour until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, then roll tightly.
  7. Cut into equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish; let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C); bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Whip together cream cheese and powdered sugar for frosting and spread over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Substitute applesauce for pumpkin puree for a fruity twist.
  •  Add nuts or chocolate chips to the filling for extra flavor.
  •  For a lighter glaze, mix powdered sugar with a bit of milk instead of cream cheese.
