Description
Warm and freshly baked pumpkin cinnamon rolls that capture the essence of fall with rich flavors and a creamy frosting.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Dry Yeast
- 6 oz warm water (approximately 115°F or 46°C)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons browned butter
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon dry milk powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5.3 oz pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 406-468 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 oz browned butter
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2 oz browned butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 180 grams confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the Dough: Add the browned butter, egg, dry milk powder, salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice to the frothy yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
- Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together.
- Roll and Fill: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the browned butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the dough.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log. Cut the log into equal segments, about 1.5 inches wide.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish; cover and allow to rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Frosting: Beat together the softened cream cheese, browned butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Gradually add the confectioners sugar until the desired consistency is reached.
- Frost and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, evenly spread the frosting over the warm rolls. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure that the water temperature is correct and avoid over-kneading the dough.
