  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine warmed milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, vanilla, remaining sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Tightly roll into a log and cut into 12 equal slices.
  5. Arrange rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. While warm, drizzle with cream cheese glaze made by beating all glaze ingredients until smooth.
