Why is my pumpkin roll so dry?

[Keith_]

Fellow bakers! I'm frustrated over my recently baked pumpkin roll. It ended up so dry that I can't figure out the cause of it. I wonder if it's the temperature or the ratio of ingredients. I really dunno why. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

There are a couple things that could've caused the dryness and overbaking is a culprit for sure ..Checking it a few minutes early with a toothpick helps avoid that. Also, make sure your pumpkin puree isn't too dry so add a splash of milk if needed Hope this helps next time!

Oh no, dry pumpkin roll is the worst! One thing to check is if you're overbaking it – pumpkin desserts can dry out quickly if they're in the oven too long. Another tip is to make sure you're not skimping on the filling – a generous amount keeps things moist and delicious. And if all else fails, a drizzle of cream cheese frosting on top can work wonders!

Your pumpkin roll might be dry if it's overbaked or if there's too much flour in the recipe .
