Pumpkin butterfly rolls are a delightful, visually treat perfect for fall or special occasions. Combining soft, pumpkin-spiced dough with a creamy filling, these swirled rolls resemble butterfly wings—both delicious and Instagram-worthy. Here’s a simple recipe to create them at home.
Ingredients:
For the dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup pumpkin purée, ¼ cup warm milk, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp instant yeast, 1 egg, ½ tsp salt, and 2 tbsp melted butter.
For the filling: 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 2 tbsp powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Steps:
1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Make dough: In a bowl, combine flour, pumpkin purée, egg, salt, and yeast mixture. Knead until smooth, then add butter and knead until elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour, or until doubled.
3. Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until creamy.
4. Shape rolls: Roll dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll tightly like a jelly roll, then slice into 8-10 equal pieces.
5. Butterfly effect: Place each slice cut-side down on a baking sheet. Gently press the center to form a “waist,” then fan the sides to resemble wings. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter and dust with powdered sugar.
Serve warm as a breakfast treat or dessert—their pumpkin aroma and fluffy texture will captivate everyone!
