Ingredients

1 cup warm milk
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Prepare the dough by combining warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it foam for 5-10 minutes, then mix in pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually add flour until smooth. Knead for 5-7 minutes and let rise in a greased bowl for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Make the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon in one bowl and creaming softened butter in another.
Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread with butter, and sprinkle with the filling mixture.
Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
Arrange rolls in a baking dish and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare frosting by beating cream cheese and butter, adding powdered sugar gradually until smooth.
Frost warm rolls after baking and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
