To make this delicious pastry, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp allspice

To make the dough, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy. Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour and mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
To make the filling, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice in a small bowl and mix well.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 16 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc and place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling in the center. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal.
Place the kolaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the kolaches for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
The Pumpkin Spice Kolache is a delicious and unique pastry that is sure to impress your guests. The sweet and spicy pumpkin filling pairs perfectly with the soft and fluffy dough, creating a flavor combination that is both comforting and indulgent.
