Instructions
The Filling
- Mix the pumpkin pie spice with the brown sugar and set aside
The Dough
- Pour yeast into the warm milk and stir. add a sprinkle of sugar if you like. you can skip this step if you are sure your yeast is fresh and active. it doesn't hurt to check.
- Mix the other wet ingredients ( egg, pumpkin puree and oil) and set aside
- Pour dry ingredients in a bowl then mix in all the wet ingredients till well incorporated. Knead dough lightly, then form into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover bowl with cling film and then kitchen towel. Place in a warm place for about 40 mins to rise.
- When dough has doubled in size, punch down to deflate. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead lightly.
- Roll out into a rectangle about 9 by 13 inches. you can cut out the edges to make it straight if you want to. ( but I didn't do that )
- Spread the softened butter all over the surface of the rolled out dough. Then with a spoon sprinkle the sugar and pumpkin spice mix evenly over the butter.
- Roll up tightly to form a log. cut evenly with a sharp knife. Place cut up rolls in a greased 9 by 13 pan or baking dish.
- Cover again with cling film and kitchen toweling allow to rise for about 25 mins
- Preheat oven and begin to make the cream cheese frosting
- After the second rise, bake in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 mins or until lightly golden brown.
Frosting
- Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with a fork or hand mixer. Add in the vanilla extract.
- Add in the icing sugar and beat till fluffy
