- Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger)
- Salt
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, warm milk and melt butter together. Add yeast and let it sit until foamy. Stir in pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, and spices. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: Mix softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly and slice into 12 rolls.
- Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Make the Glaze: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk, coconut oil, and dairy-free cream cheese. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts to the filling.
