Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp ground all-spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp ground all-spice
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar, sifted

Instructions

  • Rolls: In a small saucepan, heat milk and 2 tablespoons butter until warm and butter is almost melted, stirring constantly. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, all-spice and salt.
  • Add the milk mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat with an elastic mixture until fully combined. Beat in egg and yeast.
  • Add 1 cup flour to the pumpkin mixture and beat at a low speed for 5 minutes. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until fully combined.
  • Grease a large bowl and place dough in it, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (around 1 hour).
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times until dough is smooth. Roll dough into a 12×10 rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the surface if the dough with the melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar mixture.
  • Beginning with the long side of the dough, roll up jelly style. Pinch seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut roll into 1 inch slices.
  • Place rolls cut side up in a greased 11×17 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake at 350˚F for about 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from pan to a waxed paper-lined wire rack. Let cool.
  • Frosting: In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl, and let cool. Stir in the vanilla, all-spice, salt and confectioners’ sugar. Beat with an electrical mixer until combined. Drizzle over cooled buns.
