Ingredients

You’ll want9x13 in pan, large mixing bowl, rolling pin and string or knife.

Method

  1. Yeast: Stir 1 tbsp of the sugar into the warm milk, sprinkle in the yeast and wait 5-7 min till foamy.
  2. Dough: Mix in the rest of the sugar, pumpkin, butter, egg, vanilla, flour, salt and spices. Rest 5 min, then knead 5-7 min till smooth and a little sticky. Rise 30-45 min.
  3. Roll: Roll to 16x15 in, spread the filling, roll up tight from the long side and cut 8 rolls with string.
  4. Proof: Set in a buttered 9x13 pan and let them puff 25-30 min.
  5. Cream: Pour the warm cream over the rolls. It soaks in as they bake and keeps them soft and gooey.
  6. Bake: 350°F for 22-24 min, then 375°F for 5-7 min till golden. Rest 10-15 min, then frost.
