Ensure the water is between 110\u00b0 and 115\u00b0 for yeast activation. Water is also used\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Large eggs:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Room-temperature eggs add richness and structure to the dough. For an egg-free version, substitute a flaxseed or chia seed mixture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shortening:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Shortening provides tenderness to the rolls, making them soft and moist. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Canned pumpkin:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Canned pumpkin infuses the dough with pumpkin flavor and moisture, perfect for an autumn twist.

For a dairy-free option, use almond or soy milk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sugar:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Sugar sweetens the dough.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instant vanilla and butterscotch pudding mixes:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0These pudding mixes enhance the flavor and texture of the rolls.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All-purpose flour:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0All-purpose flour provides the structure for the dough. You can use bread flour for a chewier texture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Packed brown sugar:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Packed brown sugar adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor to the filling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Butter, melted:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Butter in the filling adds richness and helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick to the dough. Margarine or a plant-based butter can be used as an alternative.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ground cinnamon:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Ground cinnamon is the key spice for the classic cinnamon roll flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount to your taste or add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Confectioners&#8217; sugar:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Confectioners&#8217; sugar combines with water and softened butter to make a smooth, sweet glaze.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Softened butter:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Softened butter is used in the glaze to add richness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vanilla extract:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Vanilla extract adds a warm, sweet flavor to the glaze.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2037147\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pumpkin-Cinnamon-Rolls_TOHD24_41373_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls recipe photo of preparing the dough.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.

Cinnamon buns are often baked with a sticky, caramelized topping made from butter and brown sugar, sometimes with nuts and are typically inverted after baking so the gooey topping is on top. Cinnamon rolls, on the other hand, are usually topped with icing or glaze after baking and are not flipped.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why are my cinnamon rolls not fluffy?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your cinnamon rolls might not be fluffy due to insufficient rising time, inactive yeast or not enough kneading. Ensure your yeast is fresh and the dough <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is allowed to rise in a warm spot<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> until it has doubled in size. Kneading the dough sufficiently helps develop gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and fluffiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How to make cinnamon rolls soft again?<\/h3>\n<p>To make the cinnamon rolls soft again reheat them by placing them in a microwave with a damp paper towel for 20 to 30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350\u00b0 for about 10 minutes, covered with aluminum foil to prevent drying out. Adding a bit of extra glaze or butter before reheating can also help restore their softness.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did my cinnamon rolls turn out dense?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dense cinnamon rolls can result from overworking the dough, not allowing it to rise properly or using too much flour. Make sure to knead the dough just until smooth and elastic and allow sufficient rising time in a warm environment. Use the flour sparingly, adding just enough to keep the dough from being sticky.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indulge in these pumpkin cinnamon rolls for a cozy and delightful twist on the classic treat.

Each time it turns out amazing. The key is to add your spice until you can smell the cinimon or pumkin pie spice over the butter you mix it with. The second thing I realized after my first batch is that you have to, MUST let it rise at least twice. I give it 3 or so hours for the first rise. After  I turn the dough out into three batches instead of 2, roll into the proper form and then let it rise again. The results are amazing. Trust me you won't be dissipointed.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-11-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeWheel"},"reviewBody":"Made these rolls and shared with my family.

My coworkers loved them.  Based on comments from reviewers, and my own preference, I will  make the following changes.  Some reviewers stated that although the rolls were great the pumpkin flavor was not predominant.  In my area at holiday time, they sell pumpkin eggnog, as well as pumpkin pudding mix.  I don't know that I would use both together, as the pumpkin flavor might be overpowering.  I will try both, each separately, and let you know how they turn out.  Or if someone else tries it before I do, please share your comments.
