Instructions
 

Brown Butter

  • Brown 15 tablespoons of butter for the dough, filling, and frosting, placing the rest in the fridge overnight.

  • Add flour and pumpkin pie spice, then mix and knead for 8 minutes until soft and not too sticky.
  • Preheat oven to 200F/93C, turn off, and let dough rise in warm oven for about 1 hour, covered with a towel.

Filling

  • After dough has risen, punch it down and roll into a 16x14 inch rectangle, then brush with melted browned butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture.
  • Roll tightly, cut into 12 pieces, place in baking dish, then let rise overnight or until doubled in size.
  • After rising, preheat oven to 350F/180C and bake for 22-27 minutes, checking temperature reaches 190F/88C.
