Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F/45°C). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the frothy milk and yeast mixture to the bowl and stir until smooth.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to make the filling.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top, pressing it gently into the dough.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the rolls bake, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for 10 minutes before spreading the glaze on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your freshly baked Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Rolls!
