Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Description
This recipe transforms pizza dough into a festive cinnamon roll variant by spreading a Nutella and softened butter mixture over rolled-out dough, followed by a layer of pumpkin puree and a sprinkle of sugar and warm spices including cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. The dough is tightly rolled, sliced into thick rolls, and allowed to rise before baking at 350°F. Baking until just underdone ensures a soft interior. The blend of Nutella and pumpkin provides a rich, creamy sweetness combined with autumnal spice characteristic of pumpkin pie flavors.
The rolls are cut from a 9x12-inch dough rectangle, discarding the ends for even filling distribution. The recipe advises warming the Nutella for easy spreading and suggests allowing the dough to rise in a warm oven to encourage a good lift. The final product can be topped with powdered sugar or served plain for a sweet breakfast or dessert treat that combines chocolate and pumpkin flavors uniquely.
Practical tips include warming butter for easy mixing, using a serrated knife to slice the rolls cleanly, and making or purchasing pizza dough in advance to save time. Lightly flouring the work surface helps with rolling. Slight underbaking is recommended to keep the rolls soft inside.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pizza dough homemade or store bought, 907g
- ¼ cup butter room temperature
- ¼ cup pumpkin homemade or store-bought, puree
- ¼ cup Nutella warmed to soften
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/176C, then roll out the pizza dough into a 9x12 rectangle on a well-floured surface.
- Mix together butter and Nutella in a bowl. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in another bowl.
- Spread the Nutella mixture over the dough, leaving a ¼ inch margin. Top this with the pumpkin purée, and then sprinkle everything with the innamon, spice and sugar mixture.
- Starting from the short side, tightly roll up the dough and then cut 1-inch from each end.
- Using a sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter, slice the roll into 1 inch thick sections to make 8-10 individual rolls.
- Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, let rise about 45 minutes, then bake for about 25 minutes. The pumpkin pie rolls should be cooked until slightly underdone so they will be soft in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes vefore sercing.
- optional: top your Nutella pumpkin cinnamon rolls with powdered sugar or a cream cheese glaze, if desired.
Notes
- Preparing pizza dough ahead or using store-bought saves preparation time.
- Bring butter to room temperature and warm Nutella slightly for easier spreading.
- Flour the surface well before rolling to prevent sticking.
- Cut off ends of rolled dough as they have less filling and weaker structure.
- Use a serrated knife or pizza cutter for clean slices of rolls.
- Let dough rise in a warmed oven turned off, door ajar, for about 45 minutes.
- Underbake slightly to keep the rolls soft and moist inside.
