Instructions
- Prepare the dough by combining warm almond milk and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Steep black tea bags for 5 minutes before removing.
- In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, artisan bread flour, yeast, sea salt, pumpkin spice blend, and chai spice blend.
- Combine wet ingredients: add pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter (warmed), and vanilla extract to the milk mixture.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture while mixing to form a soft dough. Cover it in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread softened butter over the dough; sprinkle with brown sugar and Dessert Lover Blend.
- Roll tightly from one edge into a log and slice into equal pieces; place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Let rise again for 20 minutes then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the glaze by mixing sifted powdered sugar with cream cheese and cooled chai tea mixture until smooth.
