Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice, plus more for topping
- 2 tsp instant coffee
- 2 Tbsp warm milk
Instructions
- Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm milk and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin spice. With the mixer on low, add the egg, pumpkin puree, and yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
- Add the softened butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Increase speed to medium and mix until the dough clings to the sides but pulls away when scraped, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer dough to the greased bowl, cover, and let rise until almost doubled, 1 1/2–2 hours.
- Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish. Mix the filling ingredients—softened butter, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into an 18×14-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly on top. Roll tightly from the long edge and trim the ends. Cut into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in the prepared dish, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Uncover and bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool for 20 minutes on a rack.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and pumpkin pie spice and beat until combined.
- Dissolve instant coffee in warm milk and add to frosting. Beat until smooth.
- Spread frosting over warm rolls and sprinkle with extra pumpkin pie spice.
