Ingredients

Pumpkin Dough

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil

Frosting

Instructions

  • Stir yeast into 1/3 cup warm (105°–115°F) water until dissolved. Let stand 10 minutes.
    Yeast and milk in a bowl.
  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in bowl of your stand mixer and combine using the dough hook on low speed for about 1 minute. 
    Flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: pumpkin, coconut oil and 1/3 cup warm water. With mixer running at low speed, add yeast mixture and pumpkin mixture to your dry ingredients by pouring them down the inside of the bowl. Increase speed to medium-low, and mix 2 minutes. 
    Pumpkin and yeast added to flour mixture.
  • Let dough rest 5 minutes. Mix at medium-low speed 5 minutes, or until dough is smooth. Increase speed to medium and mix 2 minutes. Kneading is done when dough makes a slapping sound as it hits the side of the bowl. Dough temperature should be close to 90°F.

  • While dough is rising, make cinnamon sugar filling by stirring together brown sugar, cinnamon and coconut oil in a bowl. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking sheet or round 9.5-inch pie pan with coconut oil.
    Cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Sprinkle extra flour on your surface and rolling pin and roll dough into 14 x 12-inch rectangle.
    Dough rolled out into a rectangle.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over dough and smear it all over the surface with your fingers.
    Cinnamon sugar spread over dough.
  • Starting at the top, roll the dough toward you into a large log, moving back and forth down the line of dough (in a "typewriter" motion) and always rolling toward you. Roll it tightly as you go so the rolls will be nice and neat. When it's all rolled, pinch the seam closed and turn the roll over so that the seam is facing down. Cut roll crosswise into 12 1-inch-thick pieces and place on prepared baking sheet or pie pan.
    Dough rolled up and cut into 12 circles.
  • Cover, and let rise in warm place 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
