Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 3/4 cups (450g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) warm milk (around 100°F/38°C)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75g) pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes on a floured surface (or use the dough hook on your stand mixer for 5 minutes). The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12×18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  5. Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  6. Roll the dough tightly, starting from the longer edge. Slice into 12-14 rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  7. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
  10. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy the ooey-gooey deliciousness!

Notes

[‘Let the dough rise properly for soft and fluffy rolls. If your kitchen is cold, place the bowl in a warm spot or preheat your oven to the lowest setting, turn it off, and let the dough rise inside.’, ‘Use dental floss for clean cuts to prevent squishing the rolls.’, ‘Keep an eye on the rolls as they bake; they should be golden brown but still soft. Overbaking will make them dry.’, ‘You can make these rolls the night before. After shaping them, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate. In the morning, let them come to room temperature and bake.’]
