# Instructions:

01 - Combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and salt to the bowl with the activated yeast. Mix until well combined.
03 - Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 - Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
05 - Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter and pumpkin butter evenly over the surface.
06 - Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough.
07 - Roll the dough tightly from the long edge and slice into 9–12 evenly sized rolls.
08 - Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes.
09 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
10 - Heat brown sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
11 - Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
