Instructions
Sweet Dough
- Combine milk, sugar, salt, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the butter and sugar dissolve. Cool to lukewarm.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a warmed bowl (make sure the temperature does not exceed 110ºF). Add milk mixture, pumpkin purée, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and 5 cups of flour. Beat with a dough hook on speed 2 for 3 minutes.
- Continuing at speed 2, add the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- After 1 hour, punch the dough down and shape into a 10 x 30 x 1 inch rectangle.
Cinnamon Pumpkin Butter Filling
- Place brown sugar, sugar, butter, flour and pumpkin spice in a mixer bowl. Mix with a flat beater on speed 2 for 1 minute.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. Then spread a layer of the pumpkin butter over the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll the dough tightly from long side to form a 30 inch roll, pinching seams together. Cut into 18 1 1/2 inch slices.
- Place rolls in a greased cake pans, cover and let rise in a warm space for 1 hour.
- Bake at 350ºF for about 20-25 minutes.
Coffee Cream Cheese Icing
- In a stand mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, espresso powder and vanilla until it’s completely combined.
- Once the rolls have cooled for 10 minutes, smear the icing over the top.
- Enjoy with a drink of choice…dare we say, a pumpkin spice latte.
