Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
  • 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons (7g) instant or active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 2 and 2/3 cups (335g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled), plus more as needed
  • 6 Tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 ounces (113g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 Tablespoons (45ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon (15ml) whole milk
  • 2/3 cup (80g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  • optional: 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and butter together over medium heat until just melted. You want it lukewarm, around 105°F (41°C)-115°F (46°C). In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Combine with warm milk mixture, egg, and yeast. Gradually mix in flour until combined.
  2. If using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, beat on low speed for about five minutes until smooth. If kneading by hand, place on a floured surface and knead for approximately five minutes until soft but tacky. Allow dough to rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for about two hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Grease your chosen baking dish. After rising, punch down the dough gently. On a floured surface, roll it into a rectangle about 10×14 inches. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface.
  4. Combine brown sugar with spices in a small bowl; sprinkle this mixture over rolled-out dough. Tightly roll up starting from one edge. Cut into 10–12 even pieces and place them in your prepared baking dish.
  5. Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise until doubled in size again—about one hour. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 22–28 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  6. While baking, beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Add maple syrup and milk; beat until creamy. Slowly incorporate confectioners' sugar until well mixed. Spread icing over warm rolls after removing from oven.
