Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Sprinkle in the yeast and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

- Flour your countertop and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread softened butter, then sprinkle brown sugar and spices over the surface.
- Roll the dough tightly and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the glaze, combine powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth.
- Once rolls cool slightly, drizzle glaze on top and serve.
Notes
Consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture. Don’t rush the rising time for the best results!
