Instructions
 

For the rolls

  • In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low-medium heat until it reaches 180ºF. Set aside and let it cool down to 100ºF-115ºF degrees or until warm to the touch.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, pumpkin puree, melted unsalted butter, and lightly beaten egg.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix together with a spatula until the dough begins to form.
  • Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook and knead at low speed for 7-8 minutes or until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, kneading it into a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rest in a warm area for about 1 hour.

For the cinnamon spice filling

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and allspice.

Assembling the rolls

  • Lightly spray a baking pan and set aside.
  • Once the dough has doubled, punch it down, roll it out to about a 10” x 12” rectangle, spread unsalted butter onto the dough, and sprinkle the cinnamon spice filling.
  • Starting at the longest end of the dough, roll up tightly to form a log.
  • Slice the dough log into 6 equal rolls and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cover and let rise for 25 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  • Prepare the egg wash by beating the egg yolk with water, brush onto the rolls, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes before adding the maple frosting.

For the maple frosting

  • Mix together the unsalted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer.

Notes

Slightly beat your egg before adding it to the dough mixture. If additional flour is needed, add it 1 tablespoon at a time.
