Pumpkin-Cinnamon Twist
A cousin to the cinnamon roll, this pumpkin twist is as delicious as it is impressive.
Pumpkin-Cinnamon Twist
Makes about 6 servings
Ingredients
- Master Dough (recipe precedes), 1⁄2 cup
- canned pumpkin subsituted for 1⁄2 cup water, plus 11⁄2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup finely ground pecans
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Pinch kosher salt
- Glaze:
- 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
Instructions
- Prepare Master Dough, substituting 1⁄2 cup pumpkin for 1⁄2 cup warm water and adding pumpkin pie spice; let rise as directed.
- Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Lightly punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 16×12-inch rectangle.
- For filling: Spread softened butter over dough. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle sugar mixture over butter. Starting with one long side, roll dough into a log; pinch seam to seal. Cut in half lengthwise, leaving 2 inches at top intact. Carefully twist dough pieces around each other, making sure cut side stays up. Pinch end together. Carefully spiral dough around itself, and place in prepared skillet. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°) until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- For glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm bread. Serve immediately.
I think somebody bumped their noggin. Rosemary? Garnish with sea salt and pepper? For
Hi Jeff! That recipe is correct. The rosemary gives the bread amazing flavor! It’s one of my personal favorite recipes—my family adores it.
I am looking at the recipe in the taste of the south fall baking magazine. The directions are not the same as they are on this page. The ingredients are correct but the directions are not. There is no olive oil or rosemary for this recipe, and no mention of sea salt and pepper for garnish. I think someone had mixed up 2 different bread recipes.
Hi Stephanie! I think the recipe you’re looking at is for our Rosemary Focaccia. This is a list post that contains multiple bread recipes all using the same master dough. If you click the third page, you’ll find the Pumpkin Twist recipe. Hope this helps!
