recipe notes
- Use 2% or whole milk. The fat content helps create soft and fluffy rolls.
- Use pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie
- Top your rolls with chopped pecans if you like
- Use unflavored floss or floss to cut individual floss rolls. After rolling the dough into a log, slide a long string of floss under the dough. Lift the floss through the strands, pulling the strands taut. It cuts right through the dough! Repeat for each roll. Make sure to cut all slices to the same size.
If you want to speed up the ascent process, You can use the oven to create a warm environment that allows the dough to rise faster. Heat the oven to 200°F, then turn it off. Cover the bowl with the dough with a damp tea towel. Place in the oven and let the dough rise until doubled in size.
You can also make the dough ahead of time and bake it later. Store formed rolls in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
Follow written recipes, but don’t let them rise again. Instead, cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake them, remove the pan from the refrigerator, let them rise for an hour or so, and bake as directed.
Why isn’t my volume going up? There are many reasons why dough can be prevented from rising. Here are some of the most common reasons:
- expired yeast
- The room is too cold, you just need more time
- The water is too hot or too cold and the yeast dies
- different flour from what is written in the recipe
glaze
The glaze on these pumpkin cinnamon rolls is unlike any other. This is not your traditional topping! This glaze is made with a special ingredient. See if you can guess what it is. đ
- butter
- candy candy
- vanilla extract
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
The addition of pumpkin pie spice is a game changer. Honestly, a regular glaze won’t work for these amazing pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Recipes like this call for a glaze that pairs perfectly, and this Pumpkin Spice Glaze is just that.
Combine water, butter, and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl to make the glaze. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Once out of the oven, spread on warm rolls and enjoy! (You definitely will!)
storage tips
The rolls are best fresh from the oven when they are warm and sticky. However, you can store the rolls at room temperature or freeze them for later use. I don’t recommend storing them in the refrigerator as they dry out faster.
Room temperature: Store rolls in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat Place the rolls in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds.
refrigerator: Let the rolls cool after they are baked. Cover the pan, or wrap each roll individually, wrapping in plastic wrap and wrapping again in aluminum foil. Freeze frosting in separate containers. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
Let the rolls defrost and reheat in the oven (400â° oven for about 15-25 minutes) or in the microwave (put a single roll in the microwave for 5-8 seconds, then heat in the hot oven for 1-2 minutes for freshly baked bread ) texture) Spread frosting on warm rolls.
Can you see all the sweet spice and sweetness? ! These are sure to become a new fall staple in our house. đ
