Ingredients

Scale

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
½ cup warm milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 large eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit until foamy (approximately 5 minutes).
Add melted butter, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs. Gradually mix in flour to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour).
Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter on top, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar filling.
Roll tightly from one edge into a log shape and cut into equal pieces (about 12).
Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish; let rise again until puffy (30 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with vanilla extract and enough milk for desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
