Preparation
Step 1
To prepare buns, dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with knife. Add 2 cups flour, pumpkin, and next 5 ingredients (pumpkin through nutmeg); beat with mixer at medium speed until smooth. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining 3/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
Place dough in large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in warm place (85°), free from drafts, for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.)
Combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon in small bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Punch dough down; cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll dough into 12x10-inch rectangle on floured surface. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Roll up rectangle tightly, starting with long edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Cut roll into 12 (1-inch) slices. Place slices in 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 25 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Bake rolls at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes in pan on wire rack.
To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and vanilla extract in small bowl, stirring with whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over buns. Serve warm.
