Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water

  • 2/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 3 1/4 – 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast by mixing it with warm water and sugar; let it sit until bubbly.
  2. Combine activated yeast with browned butter, egg, dry milk powder, salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5–10 minutes until smooth; let rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (about 1 hour).

  5. Roll out dough into a rectangle; spread with browned butter and sprinkle filling mixture evenly.
  6. Roll tightly from one long edge; cut into equal pieces (1–2 inches wide).
  7. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover and let rise again until puffy (about another hour).
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25–27 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  9. Prepare frosting by beating softened cream cheese with browned butter; add vanilla extract, heavy cream, and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  10. Frost warm rolls and serve immediately.
