Ingredients
Dough:
- 1/3 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 2¼ tsp instant or active dry yeast
- 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Maple Cream Cheese Icing:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Optional: 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk and butter just until melted. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Add the milk mixture, egg, and yeast. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl, covered, for 1.5 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves. Roll the dough into a 10×14-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle evenly with the sugar-spice mixture.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 10–12 even pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for 1 hour until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 22–28 minutes. Tent with foil halfway through baking if they brown too quickly.
- Make the Icing: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add maple syrup and milk, then gradually mix in powdered sugar until creamy. Optionally add a pinch of cinnamon.
- Serve: Spread icing over warm rolls and enjoy!
Notes
To prepare in advance, refrigerate the shaped rolls overnight before the second rise. Bake straight from the fridge after letting sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
