Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, steep black tea bags in almond milk for 5 minutes. Remove the bags and add maple syrup, chai spice blend, warm water, yeast, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  2. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour and bread flour along with sea salt and pumpkin spice blend until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–10 minutes. Place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread softened butter on top and sprinkle with brown sugar and Dessert Lover Blend.
  5. Roll tightly into a log shape and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place on a lined baking sheet and let rise for another 20–30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. For the glaze, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth; gradually add cooled chai tea mixture to achieve desired consistency.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls before serving.
