In a large bowl (or the bowl of your electric mixer fitted with the kneading hook), combine warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until it begins to flower (foam).
-
Once yeast is foamy, stir in pumpkin puree and egg.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients.
-
Gradually stir in dry mixture to the yeast mixture.
-
Using your mixer's dough hook attachment or manually, knead dough until it forms a ball and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
-
Remove dough from bowl and coat with a bit of oil. Place dough back into the bowl and cover with a clean dish towel. Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes.
-
Once the dough has risen slightly, roll out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
-
Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
-
Roll dough and pinch the seam shut. Slice into rolls.
-
Place sliced rolls in a greased 9x13 baking pan and let sit while oven is preheating.
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
When oven is ready, place pan in the center of the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes.
-
To make the frosting, melt butter in a small pan. If you would like a more nutty flavor, carefully cook the butter until it begins to brown and smell nutty.
-
Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar.
-
Remove rolls from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before glazing them with frosting.
