Description
Indulge in these soft, pumpkin-infused cinnamon rolls, perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Each bite offers a tender, moist texture thanks to the pumpkin puree, finished with a velvety, smooth cream cheese glaze. They are the ultimate seasonal treat to warm up your kitchen on a crisp autumn morning.
Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 cup brown sugar
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine warm milk and yeast in a bowl to activate.
Whisk flour, pumpkin puree, sugar, and butter in a large mixing bowl to form the dough.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
Roll the proofed dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread softened butter across the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into twelve even rounds.
Arrange in a greased pan and let rise again.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together to create the glaze and spread over warm rolls.
Notes
Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For a chewier texture, substitute bread flour for all-purpose flour. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before whipping to avoid lumps.
