– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Creating The Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Ever is easy if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the yeast mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.
4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 3 ½ cups of flour, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well mixed.
8. Roll Out Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
9. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the butter mixture over the dough and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.
10. Form Rolls: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 1 ½ to 2-inch rolls and place them in a greased baking pan.
11. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Preheat Oven: About 15 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Make Glaze (Optional): In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk until smooth.
15. Cool and Glaze: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling the glaze on top.

These steps will guide you through creating The Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Ever with ease and enjoyment.
