2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup solid-pack pumpkin
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
CARAMEL FROSTING:
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash salt
1/4 to 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

In a mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour and yeast set aside. In a saucepan, heat and stir pumpkin, milk, sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and salt until warm (120°-130°) and butter is almost melted. Add to flour/yeast mixture along with egg. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Melt remaining butter brush over dough. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkle over dough. Roll dough, jelly-roll style, starting with the longer side. Cut into 12 slices, 1 in. each. Place rolls, cut side down, in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. Baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, melt butter in a saucepan stir in brown sugar and milk. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Stir in vanilla, salt and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar beat until well blended. Add more sugar, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over rolls.
