Recipe Card
Dough
ingredients
- 75 g pumpkin puree
- 60 g non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
ingredients
- 60 g pumpkin puree
- 30 g brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 25 g walnuts, roughly chopped
Glaze
ingredients
- 1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 1/2 tbsp non-dairy milk, more to achieve desired consistency
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, optional
Make the dough
Method
Step 1
Heat the pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk and liquid sweetener until warm to touch. Add the yeast and let sit for a few minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Mix the dry ingredients together then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Pour out onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, dusting with flour whenever it starts to stick. You should get a dough that is no longer sticky and springs back when you poke it.
Step 3
Shape into a ball and let rise covered with a kitchen towel in an oiled bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Filling the dough
Step 1
Mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar and spices.
Step 2
After 1 hour, knead the dough shortly to release the air. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 8 x 6 inch rectangle. Spread an even layer of filling over the surface and sprinkle the walnuts over.
Step 3
Roll up the dough tightly from the shortest side. Cut the dough into 4 rolls and place in two greased 5 x 2.5 inch loaf tins. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls
Step 1
Brush the tops with some non-dairy milk. In a preheated oven at 180°C, bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 2
To make the glaze, mix all the ingredients until you get your desired consistency.
Step 3
After baking, remove from the tins immediately and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over and serve immediately. Enjoy!
