Delicious Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls are fluffy, sweet, and perfectly spiced, with a delicious pumpkin twist that makes them stand out from the rest. They are excellent for breakfast, brunch, or any time you want something cozy and comforting.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it’s lukewarm. Remove from heat and stir in the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and the remaining sugar. Add the frothy yeast mixture to this bowl and stir well.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area until it’s doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, punch the dough down and roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Roll the dough tightly in the long direction to form a log, and slice it into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them again, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls warm, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea. They make for a delightful treat that brings the taste of autumn right into your home!
