Instructions

  1. Warm almond milk and steep black tea bags for 5 minutes. Remove tea and stir in maple syrup.
  2. Combine flours, yeast, spices, sea salt, brown sugar (reserve 1 tbsp), warm water, room temperature almond milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  4. While rising, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter with brown sugar and Dessert Lover Blend.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick; spread filling evenly over it. Roll tightly into a log shape and cut into 12 pieces.
  6. Place rolls in a greased baking dish lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before glazing with the chai cream cheese mixture.
