# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add sugar, pumpkin purée, melted butter, egg, and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Whisk until smooth.
03 - Gradually incorporate flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Knead for 6–8 minutes until a soft, elastic dough forms. Add additional flour if dough is too sticky.
04 - Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.
05 - Punch down dough and roll out on a floured surface to a 16x12-inch rectangle.
06 - Spread softened butter over dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered surface.
07 - Roll dough tightly from the long edge. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
08 - Arrange rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
09 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 22–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
10 - Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt; beat until creamy and spreadable.
11 - Spread frosting generously over warm rolls. Serve immediately for best texture.
