Cover your bowl with a damp dish towel and place it in a warm spot for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to double.

Baking Tip

• I warm my oven to 200°F for just 3 minutes, then turn it off. I put my covered bowl in the warmth of the oven to rise uninterrupted.
• Another option is to put the ingredients right into your bread maker and select DOUGH. It will do the above steps: mix and rise for you.

While the dough is rising, take a moment to whip up a delicious filling! In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and chopped pecans. Mix well and set it aside.

Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls recipe

Remove the dough from the bowl (or bread machine) and gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Then, transfer it to a floured countertop. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle that measures approximately 10 inches by 18 inches.

Next, scoop the pumpkin filling evenly over the dough and spread the pumpkin mixture over the rolled-out dough, making sure to reach all the edges!

Best pumpkin cinnamon rolls

Begin by taking the long 18″ edge of the dough and roll it towards you to create a long, tube-shaped roll.

If you have a little handful of extra pecans, sprinkle them on top and pop the rolls into the slightly warm oven to rise for 45 minutes more.

Pumpkin Sticky Buns

After the second rise of 45 minutes, preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re beautifully golden brown!

While the rolls are in the oven, prepare a delicious glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Adjust the syrup to reach your desired glaze thickness.
