Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • 4 – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin purée
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice

For the Maple Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add eggs, melted butter, pumpkin purée, and spices. Mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1–1.5 hours, until doubled.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix softened butter, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice into a spreadable paste.
  3. Assemble the rolls: Roll out dough into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread filling evenly over dough. Roll up tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls.
  4. Second rise: Place rolls into a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
  5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden.
  6. Make the glaze: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Finish: Spread warm rolls generously with glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For overnight rolls: assemble, cover, and refrigerate. Let rise at room temp 1 hour before baking.
  • Add chopped pecans to the filling for crunch.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
