Instructions
Creating these Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow the steps below, and you’ll be well on your way to baking these amazing treats:
1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and pumpkin spice.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Add the yeast mixture once it’s bubbly.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
6. Initial Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
8. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
9. Spread Filling: Brush melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over.
10. Roll the Dough: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder. Pinch the seam to seal it.
11. Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
12. Second Rise: Place each roll in a greased baking dish and let rise again for 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls are rising.
14. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
15. Cool: Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
16. Make Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
17. Drizzle Icing: Once the rolls are cool, drizzle the icing over the top.
