Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, and fine salt until evenly mixed. Heat whole milk, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a saucepan until melted and warm. Stir this into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rest in a warm area for 10-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the filling by mixing pumpkin puree, softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth.
  4. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Roll dough into a rectangle, spread half the filling, roll it tightly, and cut into pieces. Arrange in a greased pan with cut sides up.
  5. Turn off the oven, place rolls inside, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
  6. Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 26-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare icing by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Stir in remaining pumpkin puree.
  8. Drizzle icing over warm rolls and serve immediately.
