Description
Soft and tender cinnamon rolls swirled with pumpkin butter, perfect for cozy mornings at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted for dough)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened for filling)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin butter
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup cream cheese or powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (for icing)
- Pinch of salt (for icing)
Instructions
- Wake up the yeast. Pour warm milk into a bowl, stir in a little sugar, then sprinkle yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it looks foamy.
- Mix the dough. Add pumpkin butter, melted butter, egg, salt, and the rest of the sugar. Stir. Add flour a little at a time until you get a soft, slightly tacky dough.
- Knead briefly for about 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
- First rise. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled (60 to 90 minutes).
- Fill and roll. Roll dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, a layer of pumpkin butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll it up tightly.
- Slice and second rise. Cut into 9 to 12 rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F until lightly golden (about 22 to 28 minutes).
- Ice while warm. Mix icing ingredients and spread it on the rolls while warm.
Notes
Pumpkin butter should be thick and smooth for best results.
