  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup milk

Filling:

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

To feed your sourdough starter, use 1/3 cup of starter, and add 1/3 cup of flour + slightly less than 1/3 cup of warm water to create a nice, thick starter, similar to very thick pancake batter or muffin batter. Let ferment in a warm place for 4-6 hours, until it peaks, then stir down, and measure out 1/3 cup for your recipe. Refrigerate the remainder until needed.

  1. Make the cinnamon roll dough by combining flour and salt in a stand mixer.
  2. Add sourdough starter, egg, pumpkin puree, butter, and warm milk.

  3. Mix with the dough hook until a ball of dough forms.
  4. Continue mixing/kneading for 4-5 minutes, until dough smooths out nicely.
