Description

Sourdough Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe – A cozy fall twist on classic cinnamon rolls, made with sourdough starter, pumpkin purée, and warm spices for a soft, tangy, and sweet treat.

Ingredients 

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup active sourdough starter, about 120 grams
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup brown sugar, for filling
  • cup granulated sugar, for dough
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, for filling
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, for glaze
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, or cream, for glaze
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla, for glaze

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup active sourdough starter, ½ cup pumpkin purée,1 large egg, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and melted 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir in3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice and 1 teaspoon salt until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 4–6 hours or overnight until doubled in size.
  • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick. Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
  • Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 8–10 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  • Place the rolls into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise at room temperature for 1–2 hours until puffy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the rolls bake, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract to make a smooth glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, spiced, sourdough-infused treat!
