Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)
- Black icing or chocolate for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Then add pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and spices. Mix well.
- Add Flour: Gradually add flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Roll Out: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Fill and Roll: Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the dough, then roll it tightly from one end to the other. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 15 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the rolls to cool slightly. Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the rolls. Use black icing or melted chocolate to create spooky faces.
