Dough Preparation

  2. Gradually add salt and all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Kneading the Dough
  1. Transfer dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Rolling Out the Dough
  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.
  2. Spread the filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border.
Slicing the Rolls
  1. Roll the dough into a log shape from one long side. Slice the log into 12 even pieces using a sharp knife.
  2. Arrange slices in a greased baking dish, cover with a cloth, and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
