Streusel Pumpkin Sweet Rolls Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

45 20 65

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4-3/4 to 5-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
STREUSEL:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the pumpkin, sugar, butter, salt and 4-3/4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup.
Sprinkle remaining streusel over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges; press down lightly. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal.
Cut each into 12 slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Sprinkle with reserved streusel. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over rolls. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen.
