The bake at Avid Baker's Challenge (ABC) for this month is Cinnamon-Swirl Pumpkin Rolls, recipe is from King Arthur Flour.
There are many great reviews about these rolls, and I just could not wait to bake them. So much so that I've already baked these rolls more than a month ago.
The dough are really easy to work with, and the roll-up are a breeze. I have made my own pumpkin puree, added some dried cranberries in the filling and reduce the sugar filling to 1/2 cup from the original 3/4 cup. When the dough is rolled up to a long log, it is divided into 9 rolls (mine was thicker than the original 1-1/2", perhaps about 2" each). Instructions says to place the 9 rolls in a 9" square pan, but I find that size is a little too small for the huge rolls. So I have placed them in a slightly bigger pan of 10" square, maybe an 11" square would still be OK, because as they are left to rise in the pan, I find that they really puffed!
The recipe includes a glaze which is to be drizzled over the warm rolls, which I have omitted, as I do not like overly sweet breads. These rolls are sweet enough for me.
Overall review : The bread has a moist, soft dense texture. I was expecting a fluffier roll and would prefer it to be more fluffy soft. It does not keep well, and has gone a little drier and stale the next day, best reheated before serving. Even though, this is not in my list of favourite rolls, but it makes a nice breakfast over a cup of hot coffee.

This was not one of my favorites either. But it was still fun to do.

ReplyDeleteHI Joyce, pumpkin cinnamon rolls look good and healthy! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteOh la la ! Wonderful i am ready for that
ReplyDeleteYummy and healthy pumpkin roll :)
ReplyDeleteYour rolls look delicious Joyce! I, too, cut back on the sugar in the filling but wish I had added the cranberries for a little more interest.
ReplyDeleteStale the next day ? Not good if you're making more than you can eat but it sure looks yummy :D
ReplyDeletehello Joyce, they loook fluffy and delicious, and they are all so light "yummÿ" / p.s. next time I will make them with cream cheese!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, although the outcome of these rolls did not turn out like what you expected, I must say that these rolls really poofed up well and pretty. With a piping hot cup of tea, they will be a whole lot better, I'm sure ;)
ReplyDeleteJoyce, can I "da bao" some of your pumpkin version of cinnamon rolls? Like this, no need to leave them to the next day.
ReplyDeleteReducing the sugar is the filling is something I'll do too next time. They look perfect, all the same, not coiling up. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love it that pumpkin is used in this dough. Yes recipes do not always turn out as expected.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, Joyce. Sorry you didn't like them too much. I froze the leftovers and reheated them in the microwave and they were great.
ReplyDeleteYours still look amazingly yummy! I did have to toss leftovers on the third day. Best to make when you have a crowd. =)
ReplyDeleteYour rolls look very nice, and I wonder how they compare with the cinnamon rolls we did from "The Weekend Baker" last year. Those we really loved. I haven't made this version, yet, because I was visiting my family in Hamburg, so I'm interested how everybody likes them. The over-sweetness is always something to consider, I routinely cut back on the sugar in pastries.
