Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 cup milk warm (not hot)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk to create glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and pumpkin spice. Mix well.
  2. In a separate microwaveable bowl, heat the milk until warm. Stir in the pumpkin puree and melted butter until combined. Add the egg, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring well until incorporated.
Mixing Dough
  1. Slowly add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Kneading
  1. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rising the Dough
  1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preparing the Filling
  1. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Rolling and Filling
  1. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a little melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
  2. Carefully roll the dough from the longer side to create a log. Cut into even pieces, about 1 inch thick.
Baking
  1. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Preparing the Glaze
  1. Mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle it over the warm rolls once removed from the oven.
Serving
  1. Serve warm and watch everyone’s face light up with joy!

Notes

For dairy-free options, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk or a plant-based butter. Ensure your kitchen is warm for rising the dough for best results. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for about a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
