    Pumpkin Morning Buns

    Ingredients

    Buns
    Milk and 8 other allergens identified

    Make The Dough

    1
    |
    Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
    2
    |
    Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar over the top, mix, and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy. Add the remaining sugar, butter, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
    3
    |
    Mix in the flour mixture until the dough starts to come together. Using a dough hook (or your hands), knead for 7-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky. It should be a little sticky but shouldn’t leave any dough on your hands. If it’s too sticky, add flour 2 Tbs. at a time until it’s the right consistency.

    |
    Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Place it in a warm, draft-free spot and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2-2 hours.

    Make The Filling…

    1
    |
    While the dough is rising, make the filling. Stir together all of the ingredients. The filling may be a little lumpy from the butter – that’s ok! Set aside until ready to use.

    Assemble & Bake

    1
    |
    When the dough is doubled in size, gently punch it down. Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface, and roll until you have an 9×13” rectangle. Spread the filling on the dough, leaving a 1/2” gap on all sides.
    2
    |
    With the wider part of the dough facing you, fold 1/3 of the dough over the center. Then, fold the other 1/3 of the dough over the first fold (kind of like a brochure). Use a rolling pin to gently roll the 3 layers together.
    3
    |
    Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the edges off each side of the dough rectangle until they are even. Cut the dough lengthwise into 8 equal pieces. Roll each strip of dough into a tight swirl, tucking the ends under the bottom. Repeat with remaining strips.
    4
    |
    Place each roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a linen, and let rise until puffy, about 20-30 minutes.

    Bake

    1
    |
    While the rolls are going through the second rise, preheat your oven to 350°F. When the rolls are puffy, brush each of them with the egg wash. Bake on the middle rack for 16-18 minutes, until they’re light golden brown.
    2
    |
    Brush the warm rolls with melted butter, and sprinkle generously with granulated sugar. Enjoy!

    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Pumpkin Puree Perfection 🎃
      Use fresh or high-quality canned pumpkin puree, and always drain excess moisture to prevent soggy buns.
    • Spice Blend Magic ✨
      Create a custom spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to elevate the pumpkin flavor and add depth to your morning buns.
    • Dough Resting Technique 🕰️
      Allow the dough to rest and proof in a warm, draft-free area for optimal rise and tender texture.
    • Rolling Precision 🥐
      Use a light touch when rolling out the dough and dust your surface with flour to prevent sticking and maintain a delicate texture.
    • Make-Ahead Magic 🧊
      Prepare the buns the night before and refrigerate overnight, then bring to room temperature before baking for maximum convenience and flavor.
