Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter, and egg.
Add the frothy yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed (or stirring with a wooden spoon).
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes by hand on a floured surface or 5-6 minutes using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and arrange them on a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy and touching each other.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
