Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. This activates the yeast.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and salt to the mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Assemble the Rolls
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before glazing.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Adjust the milk as needed to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
Finish and Serve
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the ooey gooey goodness!
