What’s the Difference Between a Cinnamon Roll and a Sticky Bun?
In my experience, the difference is that cinnamon rolls are baked in a pan and then iced.
Sticky buns are usually baked in a pan lined with nuts and buttery sugary goodness and then turned out after baking so the bottom becomes the top.
I sort of made a hybrid pumpkin spice cinnamon roll/Halloween sticky bun recipe.
I spread Pumpkin Spice Caramel Dip from sponsor Litehouse Foods into my pan, but I didn’t use nuts.
And while I did turn out my rolls, I also iced them as you would a cinnamon bun.
To make these into true sticky buns, sprinkle 2 cups of chopped or whole half pecans on top of the caramel before putting the rolls in the pan.
How Do You Make the Dough for Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
This dough is really easy to make. Here’s how to do it:
Put all the wet ingredients in your mixer bowl and whisk to combine. Add the flour, then the spice and yeast on top. Attach the dough hook and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes until the dough comes together. Knead on medium speed for 10 minutes. Done! How to Roll Out and Fill the Dough
You can roll the dough out straight from the fridge.
It will be a bit firm to begin with, but as you roll it, it will soften up.
I like to use a tapered rolling pin to do my rolling. My pin is 18″ long, so I use it as a measuring stick to gauge how large my rectangle of dough is.
In the above photo, it’s about 18″ wide. I continue rolling to make a rectangle that’s about 20″ x 16″.
I mix all the filling ingredients by hand–literally with my clean hand, and then spread it onto the dough.
You want a thin layer of filling, so be fairly aggressive in pressing down with your offset spatula as you spread the filling.
How to Form the Rolls and Pan Them Up Once you spread on the filling, just roll up the dough like a jelly roll. You will be pleasantly surprised by how easy this dough is to work with. It rolls right up! Cut off about an inch from either end of the roll to even them up. Cut the roll into quarters, and then cut the quarters into thirds for a total of 12 rolls. Spread the magical Pumpkin Pie Spice Caramel Dip into the bottom of your 9″ x 13″ pan. Add nuts at this point if you want. Place the rolls on top of the caramel dip and press them down gently. Cover and let rise until the rolls are touching.
Then, they get a trip through the oven, a rest of about 15 minutes, and a flip out onto a half sheet pan or large platter before you go to town decorating them.
How Long Do You Bake Cinnamon Rolls?
For a recipe that appears really big–12 fat rolls in a 9″x13″ pan—cinnamon rolls bake in about 25 minutes, which is way less time than it takes to bake a cake of the same size!
What’s Great About This Recipe
Once you have the dough made, it gets a rest overnight in the fridge. From there, you can roll it out–no need to flour or oil your surface--and spread on the filling.
This dough is extremely easy to work with and rolls up beautifully every time.
My soft cinnamon rolls made with mashed potatoes in the dough is great, but it is also more delicate and a bit harder to work with.
If you’re a beginner at working with yeast dough, these are the pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls for you. (And of course you can flavor your filling however you like).
Other Reasons to Love These Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls Pretty much foolproof dough. Easy filling containing just butter, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice The sticky bun topping is a store bought ingredient from Litehouse Foods. Their Pumpkin Pie Spice Caramel Dip is seasonal, but they have other dips you can use any time of year for an easy sticky bun topping. Easy cream cheese icing made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and a very tiny splash of milk They bake up soft and fluffy. Leave them plain for year round, or doll them up for Halloween with fun sprinkles and candy eyes! Halloween Treats Week Recipes, 10/10

A Note About Measurements
NOTE: Most of my recipes are written by weight and not volume, even the liquids. Even though I try to provide you with volume measurements as well, I encourage you to buy a kitchen scale for ease of measuring, accuracy, and consistency.
This is the scale I use, love, and recommend:
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Yield: 12 Prep Time: 35 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Rise Time: 2 hours Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
These Halloween cinnamon rolls are spiced with everyone's favorite fall spice: pumpkin spice. Pumpkin Spice cinnamon rolls can also be made into sticky buns. Either way you make them, they are Super Tasty.
The dough is very easy to work with, so if you have ever hesitated over making yeast dough, hesitate no more. Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls are well within your reach!
Print Ingredients For the Dough 4 egg yolks 1 large egg 2 oz sugar (by weight, about 1/4 cup) 3 oz melted butter 8 oz milk 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (I use Morton's) 20 oz all purpose flour (by weight, about 4-4 1/2 cups) 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast For the Filling 1 stick softened butter 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice For the "Goo on the Bottom" 1 cup Pumpkin Spice Caramel Dip (I used Litehouse Foods) For the Icing 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature 2 cups powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon half and half or milk To Decorate Sprinkles, Candy Eyes, etc. Instructions For the Dough In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine all ingredients in the order given: yolks and egg, sugar, butter, milk, salt, flour, spice, and yeast. Fit your mixer with the dough hook and mix on low speed for 2 minutes until the dough comes together. Increase speed to medium and knead for 10 minutes. Watch your mixer--it could walk off the counter if you're not careful! The dough will be smooth and soft but not sticky. Gather the dough off the dough hook and form it into a smooth ball by stretching the dough under until the dough is smooth and taut. Spray the mixer bowl with pan spray or brush with oil. Put the dough back in, smooth side down, and then flip it to completely coat the dough with the spray/oil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day. place the dough ball, smooth side up, on a clean surface. Don't oil it or flour it. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 20" x 16". The dough will be firm to begin with and will be a bit hard to roll, but it will soften up as you roll. Use an offset spatula to spread the filling in an even, thin layer across the dough. You may have to spread pretty forcefully, but it will cover the dough if you work at it. (Procedure for making filling follows). Starting at one long end of the rectangle of dough, roll it up into a fairly tight log. Cut off either end of the dough to even out the log, and then slice into 12 pieces. I usually cut in quarters first and then cut each quarter into thirds. That way I don't need to do math or use a ruler. Spread the caramel dip into the bottom of your pan (see variation for making sticky buns in the NOTES section). Place the rolls in 4 rows of 3 on top fo the caramel, and press each one down lightly. Cover and allow to rise until the buns are touching each other. Depending on the temperature in your kitchen, this could take between 2-3 hours. To speed things up, you can let them proof in the microwave. Boil a mug of water and then move to one corner. so your pan of rolls will fit. Let them rise in this warm environment. During the last 30 minutes of proofing, preheat oven to 375F When the rolls are ready, pop them in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the pan 180 degrees, turn the oven down to 350F, and continue to bake for another 10 minutes. Rolls should be a deep golden brown, and the internal temperature should be between 185-195F. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a thin spatula around the inside of your pan, place a half sheet pan over the top of your rolls, and carefully turn the two over. Rap this whole shebang on the counter firmly so the rolls drop onto the baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread any caramel remaining in the pan onto the rolls. Let cool 30 minutes, then decorate with the cream cheese frosting and assorted Halloween sprinkles/decorations. For the Filling Mix all the filling ingredients together into a thick paste. I find it's easiest to use my clean hand to do this, but you can also do it with a hand mixer if you prefer. For the Icing Use a hand mixer to mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and half and half and mix to a very thick glaze/slightly thin frosting consistency. Use a piping bag with your favorite tip to ice the rolls or drizzle it off a spoon or fork. Use as much or as little as you would like.
Notes
VARIATION: To make sticky buns, after spreading the caramel dip in the bottom of your pan, top it with pecan halves or chopped pecans, You will probably need 2-3 cups of pecans.
NOTE: Times do not include the overnight rise in the fridge.
SUBSTITUTIONS: You can use buttermilk in place of the whole milk if you have some. This will result in more tender rolls, although they are pretty darn tender made with regular milk too.
NUTRITIONALS based on using all the frosting. I probably used only about 1/4 of what I made. You can also leave the icing off entirely, especially if making traditional sticky buns with nuts.
