Pumpkin Dinner Rolls
Description
These Pumpkin Dinner Rolls incorporate canned pumpkin puree into a yeast dough enriched with brown sugar, softened butter, milk, eggs, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Instant yeast helps the dough rise during two fermentation stages, resulting in fluffy, tender rolls with a subtle sweetness and seasonal spice.
The dough is kneaded thoroughly until soft and smooth, then risen until puffy but not necessarily doubled. It is divided into 24 equal pieces, shaped into smooth balls, and arranged close together in a greased baking pan. The second rise causes the rolls to puff up and crowd together, yielding soft sides and a light texture.
Baked at 350°F for about 20 minutes until golden, they are then brushed with melted butter for added richness and shine. These rolls pair well with soups, stews, or as part of a holiday spread and can be served warm for best texture.
The recipe suggests freezing leftovers for longer storage, making them suitable for preparing in advance during busy periods.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk lukewarm
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 egg large
- 3/4 cup pumpkin canned pumpkin, puree
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix and knead—using your hands, a stand mixer, or a bread machine set to the dough cycle—until a soft, smooth dough forms.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and let it rise for 60 to 75 minutes, until it’s puffy but not necessarily doubled in bulk. Gently deflate the dough and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces, rounding each piece into a smooth ball.
- Lightly grease a large cast-iron skillet or sheet pan and arrange the dough balls in it. Cover the skillet or pan and allow the rolls to rise until they are crowded against one another and quite puffy, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
- Uncover the rolls and bake them for about 20 minutes. If they brown too quickly, cover the top with aluminum foil. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter. Serve warm. For longer storage, freeze the rolls.
