Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cups Warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Additional melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, remaining sugar, and the egg until smooth.
Add the yeast mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.
Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing with a wooden spoon or using the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer. Continue kneading (by hand or in the mixer) for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and arrange them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with the additional melted butter while still warm for a glossy finish.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!
