Kelsandra's Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Servings:

I made these pumpkin cinnamon rolls for a friend who loves pumpkin. I added pumpkin pie spice in both the pumpkin dough and the sugary filling. The sweet cream cheese glaze makes these rolls perfect for a fall or winter brunch.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 To make the dough: Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over top. Allow to stand until yeast begins to form a creamy foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Add pumpkin puree, sugar, evaporated milk, olive oil, and egg to the yeast mixture; mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in pumpkin pie spice, then mix in about 5 cups of flour, or as needed, until a stiff dough forms.
  4. 4 Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, but still slightly sticky, about 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball, then place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. (The dough will rise, but it won't double.)
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  6. 6 Punch down the dough, then roll it out on a floured work surface to an 18x26-inch rectangle. Brush the top with melted butter. Make the filling: Mix together brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
  7. 7 Start at the longer edge and roll dough over filling into a log. Pinch the seam closed, then use a serrated knife to cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
  8. 8 Transfer rolls to the prepared baking dish with the cut-sides facing up. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown on the edges, 30 to 40 minutes.
  9. 9 While the rolls are baking, make the glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, milk, butter, cream cheese, and vanilla in a bowl until well combined.
  10. 10 Remove pumpkin rolls from the oven and immediately spread glaze over top. Serve and enjoy!
