About this recipe

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls bring the familiar spiral of a sweet yeast bun into American-inspired autumn baking. Cooked pumpkin in the dough lends a golden colour and gentle vegetable sweetness, while cinnamon and brown sugar give the filling its warmer flavour. Here the puree stays in the dough, leaving a clearly defined cinnamon swirl. Maple syrup complements the tang of cream cheese, and browned butter adds toasted milk flavours without nuts. This is a modern seasonal variation rather than a claim to an original regional recipe. The rolls suit an autumn brunch or afternoon coffee, with one generous bun per serving. Their soft texture depends on a well-kneaded dough and both rises; thick puree is more useful than correcting excess moisture with handfuls of flour. Frosting slightly cooled rolls keeps some cream on top while letting a little settle into the spirals.
