INSTRUCTIONS:
To make the dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups flour and yeast together and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin, milk, sugar and butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt and heat until warm (120°-130°) and butter is almost melted. Remove from heat and stir in to the flour/yeast mixture. Add the beaten egg and mix on low speed. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Turn the mixer back on low and slowly add in remaining 1¼ cups - 1⅔ cups flour (just until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl) then beat on high for 1 more minute. Transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll dough into a 12 x 10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface or a silicone mat. Combine slightly melted butter with pumpkin and spread on dough. Mix together brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice and sprinkle over dough. Roll dough tightly, jelly roll style, starting with the longer side.
- Cut into 9-12 slices depending on how thick or what pan you are using. Place rolls, cut side down in a greased 9 inch square pan or 9×13 inch pan and cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
- Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
To make the frosting
- Meanwhile using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat until combined, about 1 minute. If glaze is too thick to drizzle, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Spread or drizzle half the glaze over slightly cooled rolls. Serve warm or room temperature with additional glaze if desired.
