These pumpkin cinnamon buns are the softest buns that are delicious and flavorful. These are made using tangzhong method which aids in perfect soft texture buns. These are great with a cup of coffee making it a perfect fall breakfast.
This is an eggless recipe and hence perfect for anyone. These pumpkin flavored cinnamon buns are perfect for breakfast or snack or for special holiday menu. This is a perfect fall recipe to enjoy in this season. This recipe uses canned pumpkin and hence with this recipe, these cinnamon buns could be enjoyed round the year. Fresh roasted pumpkin purée also works great.I have used bread machine for making the dough and for the first rise. This can be made by traditional method too. Also, brown sugar is used in this recipe to make cinnamon sugar. Regular sugar can also be used.
Tangzhong method uses a roux that is cooked briefly - flour, milk, and water are mixed free of lumps, cooked to get a paste like consistency and this is added to bread dough. In this method the resulting baked goods is extremely soft. So, the bread would vanish very quickly.
We are sharing breads made using tangzhong in our bread bakers group this month. These perfect fall flavored cinnamon buns, a favorite of ours is my recipe share for the event.
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.

Method
To make Tangzhong: in a sauce pit add the flour, water, milk, and mix to get a smooth consistency devoid of lumps. Heat it gently and cook for a minute or until when you draw a line with the spatula tip, the roux stays without aggregating. Set aside to cool.
For the dough: Add everything under ‘for dough’ except butter into the bread machine and set it in dough cycle. When the dough is formed and before the final kneading cycle, add butter and let the machine continue.
When this us getting ready, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar for filling and set aside.
When working with one piece, cover the rest to prevent drying. Take one dough vall and roll into 7-in by 2-in rectangle. Spread a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mixture. Fold the longer edges to the center. Sprinkle with half teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mixture. From the short edge roll into a tight coil. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough balls.
While the buns are baking in the oven, mix the icing sugar and milk, set aside.
Cool for atleast 15-20 minutes.
