Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 envelope active yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Add butter and milk to a small saucepan over medium-low heat, until reaches a low simmer. Remove from heat and whisk until butter is melted. Let cool about 5 minutes. Then whisk in maple syrup and pumpkin puree and transfer to large mixing bowl.  
  • While milk and butter are cooling, combine and whisk together 1/4 cup warm water and active dry yeast in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes then add to the large mixing bowl with the puree.
  • Add 1 cup of flour at a time to the bowl until dough is formed. If dough is too sticky, add more flour about 1/4 cup at a time. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. **See notes
  • First rise - Place dough in oiled large bowl, cover with dish cloth. Place the bowl in a warm quiet area and allow to rise until double in size. This will take about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. 
  • Once dough has finished rising, punch it down. Place dough on a floured surface and divide in half, then divide each half into about 8 rolls. Repeat with other half. Place rolls into an oiled 13x9 baking dish. 
  • Second rise - cover pan with a dish cloth and place in warm quiet place until almost double. This will take about 45 min - 1 hour. 
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake Pumpkin Dinner rolls about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Allow to cool slightly. Serve with butter.
    Enjoy!

Notes

  • * If you have an electric mixer with a dough hook, follow the steps above and let mixer knead the dough.
  • **Only knead or mix until dough is smooth and elastic, over-kneading can make the rolls less soft.
