Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, pumpkin purée, egg, melted butter, remaining sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add yeast mixture; stir to form dough.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with cloth, and let rise for 60–90 minutes until doubled.
  4. For the topping: Melt butter with brown sugar, honey/maple syrup, heavy cream, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened; pour into a greased baking pan and sprinkle pecans on top.
  5. For the filling: Mix softened butter with brown sugar and spices until smooth.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (40×30 cm), spread filling evenly leaving edges. Roll tightly into a log; slice into 12 pieces.
  7. Place sliced buns over the topping in the pan; cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before inverting onto a serving platter.
