Instructions:

Prepare the yeast dough:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, crumbled yeast and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the melted butter with the warm milk and add it to the flour mixture.
3. Add the eggs and knead the mixture well for several minutes until a smooth dough forms.
4. Finally, stir in the pumpkin puree until completely incorporated.
5. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
