A fall treat filled with pumpkin spice flavours.
Servings: 12 buns
Ingredients
Dough
- 1¼ cups warm milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp dry active yeast
- ⅓ cup melted butter, cooled
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3⅔ cups all-purpose flour
Filling
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup melted butter
Icing
- ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin spice syrup or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk, sugar, and yeast.
- Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
- Add melted butter, egg, flour, and salt.
- Using the dough hook, on low speed, mix for 1 minute to combine ingredients.
- Turn up the speed to the next level and knead the dough for 3-4 minutes. The dough will be slightly sticky and will pull away from the sides easily.
- Turn dough into a slightly oiled bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap and a tea towel.
- Let rise for 2-3 hours in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Once doubled in size, punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
- Press or roll dough into a rectangle of 12-inches wide by 18 inches long.
Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and pumpkin spice together.
- Brush the dough with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and spice mixture evenly over the dough.
Assembling
- Roll the dough on the long side to make one 12-inch long log.
- Cut the log in half. This will make it easier to slice.
- Cut 1-inch slices from each log.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch and 13-inch pan with butter or cooking spray. Or cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Place the buns in the pan side by side.
- Cover pan with a tea towel and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
Baking
- Bake in preheated oven for 22 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and cool in pan for 2-3 minutes before topping with icing.
Icing
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk and syrup together to create a drizzle for the buns
- Pour icing over buns and serve.
