Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Spice Dough:

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1/2 cup warm milk (105°F to 110°F)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Maple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

- Add in the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.

- In another bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until manageable.

Knead the Dough:

- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

Make the Filling:

- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Roll Out the Dough:

- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle (about 16x12 inches) with a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Add Filling & Roll:

- Spread the softened butter over the rolled dough, then sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture evenly on top. Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Slice and Second Rise:

- Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes until they puff slightly.

Bake the Rolls:

- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Prepare Maple Glaze:

- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If too thick, add more milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Glaze the Rolls:

- Drizzle the warm maple glaze over the rolls while they are still warm. Let it set for a few minutes, then serve warm.
