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

💛 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.
