Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine whisk together the psyllium husk and water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer combine the bread flour, instant yeast, baking powder, xanthan gum, pumpkin pie spice and salt. I use a paddle attachment.
  • In a saucepan, warm the milk and sugar until it reaches a temperature of 115 degrees.
  • To the stand mixer add the yeasty milk, psyllium gel, eggs, pumpkin puree and softened butter.
  • Beat the dough for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides periodically.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the sough chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, make the filling by combining the butter, sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. It will be easier to spread if the butter is VERY soft (almost slightly melty).
  • Lay a piece of parchment onto the counter and dust surface with bread flour or tapioca flour. Roll dough into a 12 x 15 rectangle. Spread the filling evenly onto the dough.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 even strips. Roll each strip into a round and place in a 9 x 13. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until puffy and doubled in size.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.
  • While the rolls bake, make the frosting by whisking together the butter and cream cheese. Add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla and whisk until creamy and smooth.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before spreading the frosting over the top.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
