Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Whisk flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Warm milk and butter to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine pumpkin puree with warm milk mixture and instant yeast.
Incorporate liquid into dry ingredients using a stand mixer on low speed.
Knead for eight minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 90 minutes.
Roll dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread softened butter across the dough leaving a small margin.
Sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal sections using dental floss.
Arrange in a parchment-lined pan and rise for 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the dough from hardening. Use bread flour instead of all-purpose for a chewier texture. Do not use canned pumpkin pie mix, use plain pumpkin puree.
