Ingredients
Directions
- Activate the yeast by stirring it into warm milk along with sugar; let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, blend together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Work the ingredients into a smooth dough by kneading.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise for 1 hour.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle generously with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
- Tightly roll the dough from one long edge, then cut into individual rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 25 minutes, until golden.
- Once baked, finish the rolls with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting.
