Here's how:

1

Cut the pumpkin into pieces and roast it in the oven at 160 ºC for 40 minutes. It should be soft when you pierce it with a fork. Let it cool, then blend until smooth.
2

Warm the milk. It should be at room temperature. Pour it into a large bowl if you’re mixing by hand; otherwise, use a stand mixer. Sprinkle in the yeast and add the sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla sugar. Next, add the flour, cardamom, and pumpkin.
3

Knead until the dough is fluffy. Let it rise for 30 minutes under a kitchen towel.
4

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into small rounds, then cut a hole in the center of each one. This will form a ring. Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for 20 minutes. Then bake the rings in a 225 °C convection oven for about 10–12 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
5

Melt the butter, brush each ring, and sprinkle with sugar.
