Prepare the Rolls
  1. Activate the yeast by mixing lukewarm water with sugar and adding the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix pumpkin purée, honey, melted butter, and one beaten egg in a stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture when bubbly.
  3. Gradually add flour and salt to the mixture. Knead on low speed for about 5 minutes until soft and stretchy.
  4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, shape into balls, and place in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F and brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Prepare the whipped spice butter by beating softened butter with brown sugar, kosher salt, and spices until fluffy.
  9. Let the rolls cool slightly and serve with whipped spice butter.
