Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups (660 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter (melted)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Filling and Glaze:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Whisk warm milk, melted butter, egg, and pumpkin puree in a separate container until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture.
- Gradually incorporate liquid ingredients into dry mixture, stirring consistently to develop a supple, cohesive dough.
- Transfer dough onto lightly dusted work surface and knead vigorously for approximately 5 minutes, creating a smooth texture. Encase in clean towel and permit fermentation in draft-free environment for 60 minutes or until volume doubles.
- Elongate dough into rectangular shape using rolling pin. Lavishly distribute softened butter across surface, then evenly disperse brown sugar and cinnamon throughout.
- Initiate rolling from lengthier edge, compressing tightly and creating uniform cylindrical shape. Slice into individual circular portions.
- Arrange rolls in generously greased baking receptacle, allowing additional proofing for 30 minutes in warm location.
- Heat oven to 350F (175C). Position rolls and bake for 20-25 minutes until achieving golden-amber coloration.
- Construct glaze by blending prescribed ingredients, then delicately drizzle over freshly emerged, warmth-radiating rolls prior to serving.
Notes
- Flour Flexibility Swap all-purpose flour with whole wheat or gluten-free blend for dietary alternatives without compromising texture.
- Temperature Tricks Use warm milk around 110°F to activate yeast perfectly and ensure soft, fluffy rolls every time.
- Moisture Management Add extra pumpkin puree sparingly to maintain dough consistency and prevent soggy texture.
- Make-Ahead Magic Prepare rolls night before, refrigerate overnight, then let rise at room temperature before baking for convenient serving.
