Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Servings 8
Ingredients
- ¼ oz. package quick rise yeast
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup warmed milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 3 ½ cups flour
Filling:
- 1 cup or ½ of a 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
Pumpkin Frosting:
- 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup or ½ of a 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree
- 6 tbsp. butter
- 1 ½ cup confectioners sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- Zest of one lemon
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine yeast and warm water. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine warm milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of the flour and combine. Add yeast mixture and slowly add remaining flour until combined enough to knead on lightly floured board. Knead dough for about 10 minutes, then roll out into a rectangle approximately 16 x 10 inches (It doesn’t need to be perfect).
- In a medium bowl combine all of the filling ingredients. Spread evenly over the rolled out dough.
- Starting on the long side furthest away from you, roll dough evenly towards you, creating a long roll.
- Cut into 12 slices and place in a buttered and sugared baking dish.
- Cover with towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake until golden brown on edges, about 30 minutes.
- Make frosting by blending all ingredients together until creamy. When cinnamon rolls are cooled, spread frosting over top.
