Method

1. 1

   First make the dough by combining the flour, yeast, cinnamon and sugar with a large pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl.

   
2. 2

   Melt the vegan margarine with the plant-based milk in a small saucepan on a low-medium heat, then pour the liquid into the large mixing bowl and add the pumpkin purée. Stir together with a wooden spoon.

   
3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes. Add a little more flour as you go if the dough becomes too sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl (we use the large mixing bowl from earlier), cover with a damp tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hour.

   
4. 4

   Lightly grease a 23cm (9”) cake tin and leave to one side.

   
5. 5

   Gently punch the holes out of the dough and transfer to a well-floured work surface. Roll it out into a rectangle approx.  30cm by 50cm (12” x 20”).

   
6. 6

   Use a knife or pizza cutter to trim the top and bottom so the edges are relatively straight.

   
7. 7

   Mix the pumpkin spice ingredients together until fully combined. Spoon over the dough and smooth out with the back of a metal spoon.

   
8. 8

   Using a knife or pizza cutter, make 3 vertical cuts into the dough to create 4 strips. Roll the first strip of dough, then roll the second strip around it. Repeat for the remaining 2 strips of dough. 

   
9. 9

   Place the giant roll in the greased cake tin, cover with a damp towel and leave to prove for 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 350°F.

   
10. 10

    Bake the cinnamon roll for 45 minutes, or until the dough is cooked, then remove from the tin and leave for 10 minutes.

    
11. 11

    Combine the cream cheese frosting ingredients in a jug and stir until smooth. Pour the frosting all over the giant pumpkin spiced cinnamon roll and there you have it! A complete party show-stopper!
