Wow, this recipe sent me into an insane bread spiral and I don’t mean that in a bad way! Bread isn’t really something I’ve made much in a professional setting, obviously I’ve made brioche and other sweet breads occasionally but I haven’t dedicated much time to it. A few weeks ago I decided to start tinkering with a milk bread recipe, which turned into pumpkin bread and this quickly devolved into an obsession with not only making the dough but also experimenting with the best ways to use it. Honestly, there are a million ways you can use this dough, I’ve made cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, a classic “milk” loaf and maritozzi, since I couldn’t choose a favourite I’m sharing the recipe for both pumpkin spiced latte maritozzi AND pumpkin glazed doughnuts.

First up, what are maritozzi? Maritozzi are sweet cream-filled buns that originate in Rome, classic maritozzi are made with a dough that is enriched with eggs and olive oil and flavoured with orange zest. Traditionally given to loved ones during lent, they’re said to be the perfect place to hide a ring. These are definitely not traditional so if you’re a sensitive Italian, look away now.
