Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: Combine warm water and instant dry yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy.
  2. Mix dough: Add sugar, browned butter, egg, milk powder, salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Gradually incorporate flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
  4. Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Roll out dough: Punch down risen dough and roll into a rectangle; spread softened butter and sprinkle filling evenly on top.
  6. Roll & slice: Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish; allow to rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-27 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Make frosting: Whip together browned butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and confectioners' sugar until smooth; drizzle over slightly cooled rolls.
