Dough Preparation
- Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) in a saucepan or microwave. Mix in sugar, then add yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Combine pumpkin puree, beaten egg, and melted butter into yeast mixture. Mix until smooth, then gradually add bread flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour if necessary to reach the right consistency.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Filling and Baking
- Mix dark brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling in a small bowl.
- Roll out the dough to a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle with filling. Roll into a log and cut into 12 sections.
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan, let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and soft. Let cool slightly before frosting.
Frosting
- Beat cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and salt in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Frost warm rolls with the maple cream cheese frosting before serving.

Notes
Check yeast freshness and adjust ingredients for vegan options. Prepare rolls in advance for a quicker bake in the morning.
