Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and eggs.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
