["In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, shortening, pumpkin, milk, sugars, pudding mixes, salt, and 6 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough, you may not need all 8 cups of flour (dough will be sticky).", "Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour. I place my bowl in the oven and then place a baking pan with some hot water on the rack beside the bowl. I find this helps the dough to rise nicely.", "Punch dough down, divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12"" x 8"" rectangle; brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over dough to within 1/2"" of the edges.", "Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side, pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 12 slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13"" x 9"" x 2"" baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.", "Bake at 350 degrees F for 22 to 28 minutes or until golden brown.", "In a small mixing bowl beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add icing sugar gradually, beating until fluffy. Spread over buns, and serve warm.", "Makes 2 dozen buns."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
