What pastry do you use to make Pumpkin Roll from scratch?

Here in the UK it’s a simple as popping to the local supermarket and buying a ready-made roll of puff pastry by Jus-Roll, there are gluten free puff pastry blocks you can purchase from the freezer isles too but you’ll have to roll these out to a 40×30(ish) cm rectangle.

If you wanted to spend a bit more time on the recipe then by all means make a simple sweet shortcrust pastry using this ingredients and method below;

Different ways to decorate your Pumpkin Roll

I used the very end of the pastry sheet to cut out leaf shapes using one of my sugar craft cutters. Then I simply trimmed the pastry to give it its straight edge again and carried on with the recipe. An alternative could be making little slits in the top of the pastry roll or adding a topping such as a crumble topping using gluten free muesli or granola. If you had some Halloween themed pastry cutters then maybe use those instead.

What different puff pastry fillings can I make?

If pumpkin is not your thing then you could use apple sauce and still add the spices or maybe just the cinnamon if you find pumpkin spice too overbearing. The choices are endless really but the end result won’t be a pumpkin roll but something that more resembles a strudel.

How do I make homemade pumpkin spice puree?

To make your own homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix you simple combine equal parts of Ground Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Ground Nutmeg and a pinch of Ground Clove. The size of the pinch depends on how much spice you need to make. For this recipe its a half teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and a small pinch of clove (clove is a strong overpowering spice so only a little is necessary). You can buy ready made pumpkin spices in the supermarkets but I’ve yet to find one locally here in the UK as of yet.

Ways to prepare a pumpkin for baking

Roast pumpkin; cut the pumpkin into ¼ and de-seed, place in a roasting tray and cover with foil, bake at 200°C | 180°C Fan | 400°F | Gas 6 for at least 60 mins (depending on size of pumpkin). Remove and cool, once cooled scoop out the cooked soft flesh and use immediately or freeze for later.

Boiled pumpkin; peel and cut the pumpkin removing all seeds. Chop and add to a big pan of water, boil until tender. Drain pumpkin and leave over the sink to ensure all excess liquids run away. Pop into a blender and puree, as above use or freeze.

Steamed pumpkin; as above really but you steam it!

Microwaved pumpkin; Not tried this but I have it on good authority that you can peel and cut the pumpkin and microwave in a glass bowl with a drop of water.

There’s no saying you cannot use tinned/canned pumpkin puree, you can buy this online (at a considerable cost at the moment for some reason!) or in the World Foods/American section in UK stores. of course this is widely available in US stores.

Perfect Pumpkin Puree
The base for so many Thanksgiving, Halloween and harvest time recipes. This perfect pumpkin puree is, in my humble opinion, the best way to make puree with the richest colour, flavour and texture. Ideal mixed with my homemade pumpkin spice to turn into pumpkin pies, breads, biscuits and more.

Make your own homemade Pumpkin Spice

I finally got round to making my own blend of Pumpkin Spice to use in all my pumpkin recipes. This makes things so much easier and I’ve made it to suit our tastes too. Perfect for all seasonal recipes.

Homemade Pumpkin Spice
Save time when baking and instead of reaching for 4 spices, reach for one. This spice mix balances the perfect amount of cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg for all your pumpkin spice needs.

How to store Pumpkin Roll?

This has kept for me for up to three days easily if stored in a Tupperware container on the side in the kitchen, for longer you could keep in the fridge. As this has fresh pumpkin puree in it the shelf life won’t be forever, but I’m guessing you’ll have eaten it all before too long anyway. You can freeze this pumpkin roll for later but will have to thaw for at least 6hrs before eating cold/room temperature.

Equipment

  • 1pt glass jug
  • Kitchen Scales
  • set of measuring spoons
  • silicone spatula
  • silicone pastry brush
  • slide off baking tray
  • leaf pastry cutter optional

Ingredients
 
 

  • 280 g Jus-Rol Gluten Free Puff
  • 150 g pumpkin puree [see below] see recipe notes to make your own
  • 60 g caster sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon or use my Pumpkin Spice recipe
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • milk or dairy free alternative to brush

Instructions
 

  • Make sure you leave your ready-made puff pastry out of the fridge, so it reaches room temperature before starting.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C | 180°C fan | 400°F | Gas 6
  • In a jug combine the pumpkin puree, sugar and spices.
  • Roll out or unroll the pastry (cut a strip to use for leaves for decoration if desired).
  • Using a flat knife or spatula cover the pastry with the pumpkin puree but leave a gap of approx. 1cm around the edges.
  • Roll the pastry and pumpkin filling lengthways into a loose swiss-roll shape and using a fork seal both ends.
  • If decorating the top, cut out your shapes from the strip of pastry you kept back and place along the top of the rolled pastry.
  • Brush the top of the roll and pastry decorations with milk or milk alternative (I normally add a little brown sugar to aid with the golden colouring during baking)
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove and serve immediately with custard or cream or cool completely to eat cold.

For full transparency, in 2020 I made my first £25, and in 2022 I reached my next £25 (Amazon don’t transfer the money until you reach £25). Recently I got paid a whopping £27.10 for 2023.

So to date I have made £78.58 since I first started the scheme in 2017. It won’t pay the bills, that’s for sure but it does help to pay for ingredients or little treats to cheer me up!
