Instructions
- Mix the active dry yeast and sugar in warm milk (not hot but more than room temperature). Let sit until it starts to froth, about 5 minutes. This indicates that your yeast is active and ready to use.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add your yeast mixture, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic, cardamom, butter, and pumpkin puree. Mix on low until combined, about 5 minutes. Then, mix for an additional 2 to 4 minutes on a medium speed to develop the gluten.
- Once the dough is thoroughly mixed, Remove it from the mixing bowl and put it into a separate, lightly greased bowl to rest for about an hour until the dough doubles in size. Cover your dough with plastic wrap or a warm damp towel.
- Once the dough doubles in size, remove it from the bowl and fold. (The goal of a fold is to degas and stretch the dough slightly and then form it back into a ball, this helps develop the gluten). Return it back to the bowl and let it rest for another half hour.
- While the dough rests, prepare your pans. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen again, dump it onto a lightly floured surface and stretch slightly into a square, about 12 inches by 12 inches.
- Cut the dough into 16 pieces (3 inches each). Roll into balls and place on your sheet pans, leaving about a 2-inch space between each roll.
- Cover rolls and let proof until about double in size. Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- When rolls are about doubled in size, slightly flatten with your hand (don’t flatten completely). You will then make 5-6 vertical cuts around each roll, being careful not to cut the center. This will imitate the grooves that run along a pumpkin. Lastly, gently poke a small crater into the center of each pumpkin and put in the oven.
- Bake until rolls are browned, 10-15 minutes. If you’re using one oven for both pans, switch the position of the pans in the oven after 7-9 minutes to ensure even browning.
- Once removed from the oven, brush with butter immediately and place a green pumpkin seed in the center of each roll to imitate a stem.
