  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • For the filling:
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, warm milk and whisk in melted butter, pumpkin puree, and egg.
  2. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and knead until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled.
  3. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for the filling. Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture evenly on top.
  4. Roll out the dough into a 12×8 inch rectangle. Roll tightly from the longer side and cut into 1.5-inch slices. Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is kneaded thoroughly for a soft, fluffy texture.
  • You can make these rolls ahead and refrigerate overnight before baking.
  • For a sweeter finish, drizzle with cream cheese frosting or caramel sauce.
