Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Soft Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and a pinch of granulated sugar. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add in flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a small mixing bowl, blend softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until creamy.
- Roll out the risen dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough, sealing the edge, and cut into 12 even pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth, then mix in vanilla, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.
- Spread frosting on warm rolls after cooling for 5-10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
