Prep time: 30 minutes | Resting time: 30-40 minutes

Directions:
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 320F. Warm the milk (don’t make it too hot, just lukewarm). Mix it with dry yeast and granulated sugar until dissolved. Leave it in a warm place to proof for about 10 minutes. Add the melted butter and eggs, stirring gently with a whisk until smooth.
Step 2—Gradually add flour to the batter, knead it, and try to form a dough. Dust the table with flour and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes. Put it back in the bowl and leave it to rise in a warm place for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3—When the dough is ready, roll it out with a rolling pin into a rectangular, flat shape. Spread the pumpkin puree evenly over it.
Step 4—Mix cane sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the rolled dough. Roll the dough to form a log. Cut it into 1-inch-thick rolls.
Step 5—Line parchment paper on a 13×9-inch pan and place the cut rolls on it. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
