Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (75 g) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
- 2 1/4 tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 g) melted butter
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 3 tbsp (45 g) melted butter (for filling)
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) maple syrup
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Warm 3/4 cup milk to about 100°F (38°C) and stir in 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Add the yeast mixture and mix until it forms a dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
- Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp cloves. Melt 3 tbsp butter for spreading.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 12×16 inches). Spread the melted butter over the surface, sprinkle with the spiced sugar mixture, and roll tightly into a log.
- Slice the log into 12 pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Beat 4 oz cream cheese with 3 tbsp maple syrup and 1 cup powdered sugar. Spread generously over slightly cooled rolls.
Notes
Be sure not to overheat the milk to avoid killing the yeast. Let the rolls cool slightly before glazing for the best texture. Adjust spices to your taste.
