Ingredients
  • Dough
  • 3-1 / 2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 / 4 cup sugar
  • 1 envelope FLEISCHMANN’S RapidRise Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 / 2 cup water
  • 1 cup pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 / 4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 large egg
  • Powdered Sugar Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • Food coloring, orange for pumpkin and green for stem (optional)
  • Raisins, Dried apple pieces for decoration

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Heat water, pumpkin, and butter until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Reserve a plum-size piece of dough. Divide remaining dough into 4 equal pieces; roll each piece to 7-inch rope. Place side-by-side on greased baking sheet. Pinch ends together to shape into pumpkin. Shape reserved dough into stem. Place over top of pumpkin; pinch to seal. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
  3. Bake at 375oF for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack. Decorate with colored Powdered Sugar Glaze, raisins and apple pieces to resemble a face, if desired.
  4. Powdered Sugar Glaze
  5. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk. Stir until smooth.
  6. To color glaze:
  7. Green: Add 1 to 2 drops green food color to 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar Glaze.
  8. Orange: Add 2 to 3 drops each of red and yellow food color to remaining Powdered Sugar Glaze.
