Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/176C, then roll out the pizza dough into a 9x12 rectangle on a well-floured surface.
  2. Mix together butter and Nutella in a bowl. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in another bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. Starting from the short side, tightly roll up the dough and then cut 1-inch from each end.
  5. Using a sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter, slice the roll into 1 inch thick sections to make 8-10 individual rolls.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes vefore sercing.
  8. 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.
