FAQ’S
How do I get my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls to rise properly?
Ensure that the yeast is active by letting it bubble in warm water with sugar before adding to the dough. Also, let the Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls rise in a warm, draft-free area until they’re doubled in size for best results.
What’s the best way to roll out the dough for Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls?
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Roll it into a rectangle, making sure it’s an even thickness so the Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls bake uniformly.
Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree in Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls?
It’s better to use pure pumpkin puree in Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, as pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices that can make the rolls overly sweet.
How can I make Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls without eggs?
To make egg-free Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, substitute each egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water). This will keep the rolls soft and help bind the dough.
Why did my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls turn out dense?
Dense Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls may result from overmixing the dough or not allowing enough time for it to rise. Be gentle with the dough and give it adequate time to become fluffy.
