Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Stir in granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and eggs.
Gradually add flour while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, chai spices, and softened butter in a bowl.
Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (1/2 inch thick) and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
Roll tightly from one long side to form a log. Slice into one-inch pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife.
Place rolls in a greased baking dish close together but not touching. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes before baking at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
For the glaze, mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls.
