Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and the egg. Add the foamy yeast mixture and stir until well incorporated.
3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
6. In a bowl, mix softened butter, packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth for the filling.
7. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll tightly and cut into 12 pieces.
8. Cover rolls and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
10. While baking, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup softened butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk; beat until light and fluffy.
11. Spread the frosting over warm rolls and serve.
