I've been bad lately and haven't participated in HBinFive. I recently started my Master's degree (ack! What am I thinking?!) and have cut down some on my food blogging. But I had to make the selections for the May 1st bread braid because they sounded to good to miss. Thankfully we were able to use the Pumpkin Pie Brioche because I had some stashed in the freezer. A 24 hour thaw and I was ready to go!
Since the dough was already made, it was a fairly simple recipe to make. The only problem I had was after the 40 minute rest, a lot of the brown sugar had melted. Not a huge deal but it was a little annoying.
I left of the cream cheese frosting off and just sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top. The roll ups were fabulous. Just like mini pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Most of mine ended up looking like them anyway because I messed up on cutting the strips. Oh well. They still tasted delicious. Maybe next time I'll learn to count how many strips I need correctly!
The other recipe for this bread braid is the Milk and Honey Raisin Bread. I didn't have that made up in advance so I've got that in the fridge resting and will make it tomorrow. Will have a post up as soon as I get it made!

Good luck with your masters chica! you can do it!
Those pumpkin cinnamon brioche rolls look delicious. I would just lick the brown sugar up off the mat. Good luck with the milk and honey bread! It is a keeper for sure.
Looks good! Not sure how you have time to bake with school. I have a hard time and its just myself and hubs and a part time job. All our kids have grown up and flown out.
I haven't tried the pumpkin Pie Brioche yet. We did love the Milk and Honey Raisin bread. I made cinnamon rolls and mini-brioche with the dough and loved it. Your rolls look great. So what if the sugar melted. I bet it still tasted great.
Just say the melted brown sugar is a brown sugar sauce and dip the rolls into the sauce! Hey this is how recipes are discovered...all happy accidents!
I've not tried freezing my doughs yet but now I'm looking forward to it!
Those mini cinnamon rolls look great! I love the shape! I'm glad to know that the dough freezes well. Thanks for the tip!
roll ups, what a great idea and they looked delish.
Your roll-ups look yummy!
Good luck with your degree! I think I'm addicted to rolled dough...it's just so fun and tastes so yummy. I love what you did with the pumpkin pie brioche dough!
