Ingredients

3/4 cup whole milk
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tbsp granulated sugar
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1 can 15 oz pumpkin purée
1 egg
1 tsp salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp salt
8 tbsp unsalted butter
Flour for dusting
6 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Half and half

Instructions

In a bowl of the Instant Stand Mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the whole milk, sugar, and then the yeast. Allow to sit for 3-4 Minutes for the yeast to bloom.
Mix in the melted butter, pumpkin puree, salt, and egg.
Slowly incorporate the flour one cup at a time until a sticky, pliable dough forms. Beat on level 8 for 5-7 Minutes to activate the gluten. Add a few extra tablespoons of flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
Butter a large mixing bowl and place in the dough. Cover with a dishtowel and set in a warm place until risen, about 1- 1 ½ Hours. The dough is done when a light poke stays indented and does not spring back.
