Ingredients and Equipment Needed
Dough
Milk – For best results I recommend whole milk, but anything will work! Butter – Use real butter. All-purpose flour Rapid rise yeast – Look for yeast labeled as instant, rapid-rise, or quick-rise. This variety contains enzymes and other ingredients that help cut that rise time. This also means you don’t need a double rise as you would with traditional yeast. Rapid rise yeast is sold right next to regular yeast in your store’s baking aisle, in almost identical packaging, so just make sure you read the label to get the right one! Granulated sugar Salt Pumpkin puree – Make sure you’re getting 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Egg
Filling
Brown sugar Butter – Use real butter. Ground cinnamon Ginger Nutmeg Cloves
Icing
Powdered sugar Melted butter Maple extract – I just use Mapleine because it’s usually the easiest maple flavor to find. Also called maple flavoring, you will find this by the other extracts and flavors near the spices. If you prefer, use pure maple extract. Milk – Any milk will do.
Equipment
Silicone Dough Mat – Also not required, but super helpful, a giant silicone dough mat is my absolute favorite here; well worth the price- I use mine ALL the time.
