Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls From Scratch Food

PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large saucepan, combine the milk, vegetable oil and granulated sugar. Heat until hot but not boiling, then remove the pan from the stove and allow it to cool until the mixture is warm to the touch but not too hot. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the liquid and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin puree until combined.
• Combine 4 cups of the flour with the cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Sprinkle it into the saucepan and stir until it just comes together. Cover the saucepan with a dish towel and set in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, the mixture should be very puffy and at least doubled in size. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, salt and remaining 1/2 cup flour until totally combined.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Drizzle butter into 3 pie pans (or a larger baking dish) and smear it all over the bottom of the pans.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and press it into a rectangular shape. If it is overly sticky, sprinkle generously with flour until easier to handle. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough into a large rectangle about 18 inches by 24 inches.
• For the filling: Drizzle the melted butter over the dough and smear it all over the surface with your fingers. Mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Sprinkle this mixture all over the surface of the dough, covering all the melted butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chopped pecans.
• Starting at the top, roll the dough toward you into a large log, moving back and forth down the line of dough (in a "typewriter" motion) and always rolling toward you. Roll it tightly as you go so the rolls with be nice and neat. When it's all rolled, pinch the seam closed and turn the roll over so that the seam is facing down. Slice into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices and place the slices in the buttered pan(s). Allow to rise for 20 minutes.
• Bake until the rolls are nice and golden brown around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes.
• For the frosting: While the rolls are baking, make the frosting by combining the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, butter and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until fluffy, adding more milk if you'd like a thinner frosting.
• Frost the rolls the second they come out of the oven. Sprinkle the extra pecans over the frosting, then allow them to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Tip both flours into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, then the yeast, sugar and ½ tsp salt. Add the pumpkin, butter, milk and egg. Knead for 5 mins until the dough is smooth and soft.
• Put the ball of dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place for 1-2 hrs until doubled in size.
• To make the cinnamon filling, beat together the softened butter with the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth. Line a 25 x 35cm baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment.
• Roll the dough out to a large rectangle, roughly 40 x 60cm. It should be easy to roll, but oil the work surface a little if the dough starts to stick. Spread the cinnamon filling over the dough in an even layer. Starting at the shorter edge, tightly roll the dough into a cylinder. Trim the ends, then divide the dough into 12 even-sized rolls. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking tray, evenly spread out so there's space between each one. Cover lightly and leave to prove for 45 mins, until risen.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Prepare the topping by beating together all the ingredients until smooth.
• Bake the rolls for 15-18 mins until golden brown and cooked through. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then spread with the topping while still warm - it should melt a little into the rolls. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Mix milk, pumpkin, shortening, sugar, eggs, and salt together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and stir gently until yeast is dissolved and well mixed. Mix in 2 cups flour at a time until mixture begins to get thick. Set mixer aside. Continue adding flour gradually, kneading by hand until dough is smooth and no longer wet and sticky.
• Place dough into a bowl, cover with a wet cloth, and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Roll out each dough portion on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle shape about 1/2-inch thick. Combine brown sugar and milk in a small bowl to form a paste; smooth sugar-milk paste evenly across both dough rectangles and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Add apple, raisins, and walnuts.
• Roll up rectangles and slice into 1 1/2-inch sections. Place rolls into 7 greased pie pans, gently pressing down on rolls with your fingers to squish into the pans. Set rolls in a warm place until puffy, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, tip rolls out of pans, and let cool on wire racks completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and add brown sugar. Boil over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and return to a boil. Remove from heat and let butter mixture cool to lukewarm temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Pour butter mixture into a mixing bowl. Beat using an electric mixer while adding powdered sugar gradually until it reaches a spreading consistency. If frosting gets too stiff, add warm water or more milk and beat.
• Frost cooled rolls with frosting.
