Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 package dry yeast about 1 tablespoon
  • 1 cups bread flower
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Caramel frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 dash salt
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Make the Dough. In small saucepan, heat milk and 2 tablespoons butter just until warm and butter is almost melted, stirring constantly. (I just microwaved it for 30 seconds) In large mixer bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add milk mixture and beat with electric mixer until well mixed. Beat in egg and yeast.
  • Add half of the flour to pumpkin mixture. Beat mixture on low speed 5 minutes, scraping sides of bowl frequently. Add remaining flour and mix thoroughly (dough will be very soft). Turn into lightly greased bowl, then grease surface of dough lightly.
  • Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto floured surface. Knead a few turns to form a smooth dough, sprinkling with enough additional flour to make dough easy enough to handle. Roll dough into 12×10 inch rectangle.
  • In small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush surface of dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Beginning with long side of dough, roll up jellyroll style. Pinch seam to seal. With sharp knife, cut roll into twelve 1- inch slices. Place rolls, cut side up, in greased 11X17 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Bake rolls at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan to waxed paper-lined wire rack. Cool 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with Caramel frosting. Makes 12 rolls.
  • Make the frosting. In small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Stir in brown sugar and milk.
  • Cook over medium low heat 1 minute.
  • Transfer to small mixer bowl and cool mixture. (Or don’t. I just stuck my mixer right into the saucepan.) Stir in vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer until well blended. If necessary, add more powdered sugar for desired consistency.
