Instructions

  1. Prepare your yeast mixture: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and the yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: Once frothy, add the browned butter, room temperature egg, dry milk powder, salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well combined.
  3. Incorporate flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until you have a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about an hour.
  6. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  7. Roll out the dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Spread the filling: Brush the browned butter over the dough and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly.
  9. Slice and arrange: Cut the roll into 12 even slices and place in a greased baking dish.
  10. Second rise: Cover with a cloth and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
  11. Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  12. Prepare the frosting: Whip together cream cheese, browned butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
  13. Frost and serve: Once the rolls are cooled, frost them and serve warm.

Notes
