Description

I made these up for a friend who loves pumpkin. I looked at a few pumpkin pie recipes and tried to include some of the same ingredients. Here is the delicious result.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup warm water (100 degrees F/38 degrees C)
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over top. Allow to stand until yeast begins to form a creamy foam
  2. 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add pumpkin puree
  4. sugar
  5. evaporated milk
  6. olive oil
  7. and egg to the yeast mixture; mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in pumpkin pie spice
  8. then mix in about 5 cups of flour
  9. or as needed
  10. until a stiff dough forms.
  11. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic
  12. but still slightly sticky
  13. about 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball
  14. then place in an oiled bowl
  15. cover with a cloth
  16. and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. (The dough will rise
  17. but it won’t double.)
  18. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  19. Punch down the dough
  20. then roll it out on a floured work surface to an 18×26-inch rectangle. Brush the top with melted butter.
  21. Make the filling: Mix together brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough. Start at the longer edge and roll dough over filling into a log. Pinch the seam closed
  22. then use a serrated knife to cut the log into 12 equal rolls. Transfer rolls to the prepared baking dish with the cut-sides facing up.
  23. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown on the edges
  24. 30 to 40 minutes.
  25. While the rolls are baking
  26. make the glaze: Beat confectioners’ sugar
  27. milk
  28. butter
  29. cream cheese
  30. and vanilla in a bowl until well combined.
  31. Remove pumpkin rolls from the oven and immediately spread glaze over top.
