Directions

These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a great year-round treat. They work for breakfast, dessert, or even a snack. I think they are wonderful! I baked these for my extended studies class at school (your welcome!). By the way, I’m sorry about the lighting in some of the pictures, I baked these after school. (Disclaimer: This is a pumpkin version of Paula Deen’s cinnamon roll recipe)

Steps

1 Done	Get the ingredients ready.
2 Done	In a small bowl dissolve the yeast in warm water, and set aside. Then, scald your milk, all you need to do is put your milk on the stove (in a kettle of course) and wait for it to boil and get all those little bubbles on the edge. once they form immediately take the milk off the heat and wait for it to cool to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). It sounds a lot harder than it is, trust me.
3 Done	In a large bowl mix the milk, sugar, melted butter, pumpkin, salt, and egg. Add 2 cups of flour, (just eyeball it), mix, and add yeast. Mix in the remaining flour, (or more) until the dough is easy to handle.
4 Done	Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes, Cover and place in a well-greased (WELL-GREASED) bowl and let it rise until it's double its size. About 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5 Done	When double in size, punch down the dough, (that's the fun part). Roll out on a floured surface into about a 15 by 9-inch rectangle and spread melted butter all over, mix the sugar and cinnamon, and spread on top of butter.
6 Done	Beginning at the 15-inch side, roll your dough and pinch the edges together to seal. Now, this is hard to explain, but to cut the dough do NOT use a knife. You are going to cut a piece of thread that is about a foot, and slide it under the dough. Cross the ends over each other and pull, you should get a beautiful clean edge. (This was my great-grandma's trick) Cut into 15-20 slices.
7 Done	Place the rolls close together in a pan and let them rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Then pop those in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are nicely browned.
8 Done	Glaze Meanwhile, mix the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add your water one tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Spread over the rolls when you are ready to serve them.
