I am so excited…..I finally got to make my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls!! When I first moved into this house, these rolls were on my mind. It was almost September and the beginning of pumpkin spice season. Unfortunately, I did not have all of the ingredients…or maybe I couldn’t find the pan…..

Place the pan in your bread machine, and set to the “dough” cycle. When machine beeps, check to see if dough has risen. Depending on temperatures, it may take longer than the actual cycle. Leave dough in machine until risen.

I swear that there is some kind of electrical force field or poltergeist that blocks cell reception and messes with the camera’s focusing abilities in this house!! And don’t even get me started on that ridiculous electric cook top. It is the absolute cheapest range they could buy, and then they bent the coils to hell so pans won’t even sit straight on the one and only large burner…..but at least the oven works really well. I may have to skip cooking and become a baker instead, LOL 🙂

  1. I have been making these for a few years now, and just wanted to comment and say how delicious they are. They are often requested for our Sunday potlucks. I use my bread machine to make the dough, and it is very easy and always turns out well.
