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.

  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.
