Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
An easy recipe for Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls.
Ingredients
- 180 ml semi-fat milk warm
- 40 g regular granulated sugar
- 20 g brown sugar
- 3 tsps dry yeast
- 180 g pumpkin puree
- 65 g melted warm butter
- 1 egg
- 500 g flour
- 3 tsps cinnamon
- 3 tsps nutmeg
- a pinch of salt
Pumpkin spice filling
- 140 g brown sugar
- 100 g pumpkin puree
- ½ tbsp cinnamon
- 100 g melted butter
- 1 tbsp pumpkin spice mix - cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder
- 250 ml whipping cream
Macarpone cream on top
- 120 g mascarpone
- 90 g butter room temp
- 160 g icing sugar
- 60 ml maple syrup
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix warm milk with warm butter, sugars and warm pumpkin puree. If your pumpkin puree is not warm, leave it out for now. Sprinkle dry yeast over the bowl and cover with a kitchen cloth. Leave it bubble for 10-15 minutes.
- Add pumpkin puree if you left it out, an egg. Give it a good mix. I recommend using the electric kitchen stand mixer with a hook- keep on adding flour and spices in small portions while mixing at a slow speed.
- Knead dough on low speed for 8-10 minutes. The dough should form into a nice ball and be slightly sticky. If not, take it out of the bowl and use your hands to knead the dough for a few minutes on a well-floured surface. Place the dough into slightly oiled bowl and cover.
- Allow dough to rise for 1 - 1½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Take the dough out of the bowl to a well-floured surface and roll it out. In another bowl mix pumpkin puree, butter, spices, brown sugar. Brush the dough with a pumpkin spice paste - use a generous amount.
- Roll it up and cut into cinnamon rolls. Place cinnamon rolls into the deep baking sheet covered in melted butter and brown sugar. Let the cinnamon rolls rise fro 30 minutes. When they're ready to go to the oven. Pour the whipping cream over them.
- Bake at 170℃ for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden - do not overbake.
- Take them out of the oven and let cool.
- In the meantime, whip the mascarpone cheese with icing sugar, maple syrup, salt and butter until smooth. Mix them until they're smooth and brush over the cinnamon rolls.
