Fresh Milled Pumpkin Spice Rolls

Posted by Keira J · August 29, 2023

Before we dive into the deliciousness of these Unsifted Pumpkin Spice Rolls, let's take a moment to appreciate pumpkin spice itself. It's like a warm hug for your taste buds, a cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. It's the flavor that signals the arrival of Fall and makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and sip on a pumpkin spice latte. But why limit yourself to just drinks when you can incorporate this magical spice into baked goods?

Okayyy, so now that we've established the awesomeness of pumpkin spice, let's talk about our freshly milled Pumpkin Spice Rolls made with our lofty Unsifted Basic Blend. These little bundles of joy are like cinnamon rolls' cooler, more autumnal cousin. They're soft, fluffy, and filled with a cozy pumpkin spice filling that will make your taste buds do a happy dance.

Are you a fan of chocolate with your pumpkin? If so, we highly encourage you to spread mini-chocolate chips over the dough after spreading out the filling! We hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we do :)

Happy Unsifted Baking,
