Ingredients

Servings

Rolls:

  • 1/2 cup water between 38 - 40C / 102F -110 F
  • 1/4 cup milk Between 38C - 40C / 102F -110 F
  • 2 1/2 tsp instant dry yeast 1 x 10gm packet
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar 50 grams
  • 2 egg large, free-range
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 85 grams butter 6 Tbsp, melted and cooled
  • 2 1/2 tsp rosemary finely chopped + extra for topping, fresh
  • 1 cup pumpkin made from fresh preferable, mashed
  • 4 1/2-5 cups all-purpose flour depending on how moist the pumpkin is and therefore the dough, or cake flour, 120 grams or a little more

Honey Butter glaze:

  • 1/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • sea salt flakes, to sprinkle
  • rosemary you almost can't get enough of it, chopped, optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook your pumpkin any way you prefer. I chopped it into big chunks and steamed it in a pot with a lid until soft. Allow to cool and drain. Then mash and drain off any excess water.
  2. Heat the milk and water in a small bowl in the microwave until the desired temperature is reached. I use a thermometer here.
  3. Add the 1 tsp sugar and yeast, stir and set aside to foam up for about 5 minutes. 
  4. Using a stand mixer the dough hook attached, add all the remaining ingredients. Slowly pour in the yeast, milk and water and mix until a soft dough forms. It should start pulling away from the sides but will stick a little to the bottom. It really is a touch-and-feel process here. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. I found I used just over 5 cups of flour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and give it a brief knead until it comes together in a ball. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel and allow to prove in a warm place for around an hour. It should double in size.
  6. When it's proven, return it to a lightly floured surf and cut it into 16 - 20 even pieces. Roll these into balls and place on a lined baking tray allowing space in between for the rolls to double in size. Cover with a tea towel and place back in a warm spot to prove for another hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Mix the butter, honey and additional finely chopped rosemary together and brush this liberally over the hot rolls as they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes such as Maldon salt.

Notes

  • These rolls are best eaten freshly made but can be stored for a few days.
  • These dinner rolls can be frozen too.
