- Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the wet ingredients: whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: add flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the wet mixture; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by creaming together softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle approximately 16x12 inches.
- Spread the filling evenly over the rolled dough, leaving 1 inch from the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly, slice into 12 pieces, and place in a greased baking dish.
- Let the cinnamon rolls rise for another 30 minutes covered with a towel.
- Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
