Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Make the dough: Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix pumpkin butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Roll out the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle approximately 12×18 inches.
  5. Spread the filling: Use a pastry brush or spoon to evenly spread the pumpkin butter mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  6. Roll and slice: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  7. Arrange in pan: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Make the glaze: Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix in milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  10. Glaze the rolls: Let the rolls cool slightly before spreading the glaze generously over the top.

Notes

[‘Make sure your milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.’, ‘Let the dough rise in a warm spot for fluffy rolls.’, ‘Use dental floss for clean cuts when slicing the rolls.’, ‘You can refrigerate the rolls overnight and bake the next day.’, ‘Avoid overbaking to keep the rolls tender.’]
