Instructions
Step 01
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is activated.
Step 02
In a stand mixer, blend the yeast mixture with milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, egg, and gradually add the flour. Knead the dough until smooth.
Step 03
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
Step 04
Once risen, lightly knead the dough for 1-2 minutes on a floured surface, then roll it into a rectangle shape.
Step 05
To prepare the filling, mix the melted butter, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Spread the filling over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with additional brown sugar and cinnamon.
Step 06
Starting from the short side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the log into even rolls.
Step 07
Place the rolls in a greased casserole dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow them to rise for another 30 to 60 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
Step 08
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 09
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whipping together the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Step 10
Once the rolls are done baking, drizzle the icing over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!.
