07 - 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt.
09 - 1 egg.
10 - 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
11 - Filling:.
12 - 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
13 - 3 tablespoons butter, melted.

15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla.
16 - 1/2 cup brown sugar.

20 - 4 ounces cream cheese.
21 - 2 cups powdered sugar.
22 - 1 1/2 teaspoons milk.

Instructions:

01 - Mix together the warm water and yeast. Let sit for about 10 minutes until the yeast activates and bubbles form at the surface.
02 - In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the yeast mixture with the milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, egg, and flour.
03 - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours).
04 - Once risen, knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, adding flour to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into a large rectangle.
05 - For the filling, mix together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread evenly over the rolled-out dough.
06 - Roll up the dough from the short end and slice into about 15-18 pieces using dental floss for clean cuts.
07 - Place the sliced rolls into a greased glass casserole dish, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for another 30-60 minutes until almost doubled.
08 - Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
09 - While the rolls bake, mix the icing ingredients. Spread the icing on the warm rolls before serving.

Notes:

01 - These soft and fluffy pumpkin cinnamon rolls are the ultimate fall treat, combining rich pumpkin flavor with sweet cinnamon filling.
02 - You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
