Ingredients

Scale

1 cup pumpkin puree
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup milk (warm)
2 large eggs
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk together flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix in yeast mixture, softened butter, and eggs until combined.
Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Make the Filling: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter in a bowl until smooth.
Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll into a rectangle (16×12 inches). Spread filling evenly over the dough.
Forming Rolls: Roll tightly from one long side to form a log. Cut into twelve equal pieces and place cut side up in a greased baking dish.
Bake: Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) while they rise. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
