Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

Soft homemade pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls lightly glazed in a round baking tin with one roll served on a plate.

These soft, golden rolls carry pumpkin through the dough and Pumpkin Spice through the buttery filling, so every spiral tastes warm and fragrant rather than simply sweet.

They take a little time because the dough needs to rise, but the work itself is straightforward. Assemble them the night before and bake in the morning for an excellent weekend breakfast.

🧾 Ingredients

  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 7g fast-action dried yeast
  • 40g caster sugar
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 250ml whole milk, lukewarm
  • 100g pumpkin purée
  • 1 large egg
  • 50g unsalted butter, melted
  • 75g softened butter, for the filling
  • 100g soft brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Pumpkin Spice
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk, for the glaze

🍴 Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk the milk, pumpkin purée, egg and melted butter, then stir into the flour to make a soft dough.
  3. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave to rise for 1–1½ hours until doubled.
  4. Roll the dough into a roughly 35 x 45cm rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and Pumpkin Spice.
  5. Roll tightly from a long edge and cut into eight equal pieces. Arrange in a greased 23cm round tin.
  6. Cover and leave to rise for 35–45 minutes, or refrigerate overnight and bring towards room temperature before baking.
  7. Heat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C conventional. Bake for 22–26 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Mix the icing sugar with enough milk to make a light glaze and spoon over the warm rolls.

⏱️ Timings

  • Prep: 30 minutes, plus rising

🥗 Serving Suggestions

Serve warm while the centres are soft. Leftovers can be refreshed for 15–20 seconds in the microwave or a few minutes in a low oven.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

Pumpkin adds moisture and tenderness to the enriched dough. A long rectangle creates plenty of spiral layers, while a light glaze keeps the rolls balanced.
