Ingredients

Dough:
  • 100 ml milk
  • 150 g pumpkin purée
  • 450 g flour
  • 30 g fresh yeast
  • 70 g butter
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 egg
Cinnamon Filling
  • Mix the following ingredients together:
  • 130 g softened butter
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 4–5 tsp cinnamon
Glaze
  • Mix the following ingredients together:
  • 100 g cream cheese
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp water

  • Method

  • 1
    Prepare Yeast Mixture: Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk and stir until fully dissolved.
  • 2
    Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, pumpkin purée, and a pinch of salt to the yeast mixture, and stir well. Then, gradually add the flour.
  • 3
    Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on medium speed for 3–4 minutes in a stand mixer. Add the butter and increase the speed, kneading for another 8–10 minutes until the dough pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
  • 4
    First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • 5
    Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 30x40 cm. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough and roll it tightly into a log.
  • 6
    Shape Rolls: Line your Le Creuset tart pan with parchment paper. Cut the dough log into 8 equal rolls using a thread for clean slices.
  • 7
    Second Rise: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and a clean tea towel. Let the rolls rise for another 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 8
    Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan setting). Bake for 20–25 minutes. For the first 10 minutes, cover the pan with aluminium foil to prevent excessive browning.
  • 9
    Cool and Enjoy: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Spread the glaze on top for a finishing touch.
 
Tip: If you'd like to make your own pumpkin purée, simply cut your pumpkin into small cubes, boil them in hot water for 15 minutes in your Le Creuset pot, and mash them into purée with or without sugar, depending on your preference for sweetness.
