Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 440 g)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (240 ml), around 110°F (43°C)
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin puree (120 g), canned or fresh
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56 g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (70 g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (42 g), softened
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (80 ml)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 g), melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk in a large bowl and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, sugar, melted butter, egg, cinnamon, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Gradually add flour starting with 3 cups (375 g) until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes (or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic. Add flour sparingly if dough is too sticky.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover loosely, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Keep softened butter ready.
  6. Punch down dough and roll out into a 15×10 inch (38×25 cm) rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough.
  7. Roll dough tightly from the longer edge into a log. Cut into 12 even slices about 1 to 1 ½ inches thick. Place rolls cut-side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Cover rolls lightly and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While baking, whisk together maple syrup, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust thickness if needed.
  11. Let rolls cool for 10 minutes after baking, then drizzle maple glaze generously over the top and serve.

Notes

Use warm milk (not hot) to activate yeast properly. Let dough rest if tough to roll. Avoid over-flouring dough to keep rolls soft. Proof yeast to ensure freshness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend. Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar in the glaze.
