Stir yeast and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar with warm water. To proof, set aside for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a stand mixer, combine warm milk, melted butter, pumpkin, sugar, salt, half the flour, and the yeast mixture.
With the mixer on, add more flour, in 1/2 cup increments, until the dough starts to form. You may or may not use as much flour as what is stated in the recipe card, go by feel. The dough should be sticky to the touch without leaving a residue on your hands.
Lightly grease dough ball and bowl with oil. Cover and place in a warm part of your kitchen to rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough into a 24x12 inch rectangle.
Melt butter and combine with maple syrup. Spread the mixture onto the dough then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Roll up the dough and cut into 16 even rolls. Place rolls, cut sides up and down, into a greased baking pan, cover, and rise (again) for an hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool a couple of minutes before frosting.
