Pumpkin Spiced Latte Cinnamon Roll

Ingredients
for 14 servings

DOUGH

2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 pack active dry yeast
5 cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt, to taste
FILLING

¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin spice mix
FROSTING

1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup coffee
2 tablespoons whole milk

Preparation

1. Generously butter two cast-iron pans or disposable foil cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
3. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm milk mixture and let set for 1 minute.
4. Add 4 cups (500g) of flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
5. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
7. After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
8. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95g) of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
9. Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
10. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
11. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and pumpkin spice mix, and stir well.
12. Spread the mixture onto the rolled dough.
13. Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
14. Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces, about 1½ inches (4 cm) thick.
15. Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each skillet or cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
16. To prepare the frosting, in a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, coffee, and milk until smooth.
17. Remove plastic wrap, and bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
18. While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
19. Enjoy!
