According to Chef John, pumpkin cinnamon rolls are "the least frightening Halloween treat! While they may not be scary, they are undeniably delicious. "These are the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had," the chef exclaims. "A crucial element is a soft, sticky dough. Add only enough flour for the dough to gently pull away from the bowl while kneading."
