1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk, yeast, and brown sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly on top. Add the butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough is still sticky, add an additional 1/4 cup flour, adding more as needed until the dough is smooth to the touch.2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.3. Meanwhile, mix the filling. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.4. Punch the dough down and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface, creating a large rectangle about 12 x 18 inches. Spread the pumpkin butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar. Starting with the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a log, keeping it tight as you go. When you reach the edge, pinch along the edges to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut 12-15 rolls. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish. Cover while the oven preheats.5. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.6. Meanwhile, make the icing. Add the butter to a pot set over medium heat.

Whisk in the butter and espresso, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Spread the icing over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!
