Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain pumpkin purée
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
Combine warm milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy.
In a stand mixer, combine pumpkin purée, melted butter, granulated sugar, salt, spices, and the yeast mixture.
Gradually add flour while mixing on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 90 minutes.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangular sheet.
Spread additional softened butter over the dough and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 even pieces.
Place rolls in a baking pan, cover, and perform a second rise for maximum volume.
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Use bread flour for a chewier texture. Ensure your pumpkin is pure purée and not pie filling. For the best flavor, use freshly ground cinnamon. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
