- Mix the Dough by adding the foamy yeast mixture to the pumpkin mixture and folding in flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Knead the Dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise by placing the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, covering it, and letting it rise for about 1 hour.
Filling and Baking
- Prepare the Filling by mixing softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
- Roll Out the Dough into a 16 by 12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the Filling evenly across the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
- Roll and Slice by tightly rolling the dough into a log and slicing into 12 pieces.
- Second Rise by covering the baking dish and letting the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Frosting and Serving

Notes
Knead well and allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for best results. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness.
