Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Water Warm
  • 1 1/4 ounce packet Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 12 ounce can Evaporated Milk
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup Oil
  • 1 Egg Beaten
  • 6 cups All-Purpose Flour Possibly additional to work with the dough
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Butter Melted
  • 1 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • Pecans Optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 3 ounce package Cream Cheese Room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Milk

Instructions
 

  • Pour the warm water in a mixing bowl and whisk in the yeast until foamy.
  • Add evaporated milk, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, oil and egg to the water and yeast, stirring to combine.
  • Combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk to combine well.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and stir with a spoon or dough whisk until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, adding flour if needed to make it workable.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it, let it sit for 45 minutes.
  • Punch the dough down, then roll it out into a long rectangle shape. At this point you may need a little more flour to roll it out.
  • In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pecans if using. Stir well, then spread evenly across the rolled out dough.
  • Roll the dough up long ways and pinch the seams closed.
  • Slice the dough into equal sized pieces and place the rolls in a greased baking dish, typically a round 9-inch pan works well.
  • Cover the rolls and let them rise for an additional 45 minutes.
  • While the rolls are sitting, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the rolls in the oven for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • While the rolls are cooling, combine vanilla extract, cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl. Mix well until a glaze forms.
  • When the rolls are cool, brush or spoon glaze on top and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cooktime can vary up to 20 minutes. Start checking the rolls after 40 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter until they reach golden brown.
