Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add egg, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add milk, as needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting generously.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use pumpkin pie spice blend that includes ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
