If you follow all our recipes, you will have noticed that your Halloween table is almost complete and now it’s time to add these. Fill your rolls with some mini sausages and ketchup for blood, to add some spooky details.
To make Pumpkin Dinner Rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, stir the hot milk and butter together until butter melts.
Add sugar, pumpkin puree and salt to the milk mixture and stir to combine well.
In a small bowl, stir the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and lukewarm water until combine. Set aside to rise. Once foaming, add to the pumpkin mixture.
Add egg and mix well.
Gradually add flour and using a wooden spoon, fold dough until combined and sticky. If using an electric beater, beat until dough pulls itself away from the side of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and using your hand, knead for 5 minute. Form into a ball-shape and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for about 1 hour until volume rises to double the size.
Punch to remove air bubbles and knead for a few seconds. Cut the dough in half, then each half into about 15 pieces. Roll each piece into small ball shapes and flatten slightly, using the palm of your hand. Using a knife, cut 8 seems around the edge to mimic the flower petals on a pumpkin. Repeat with remaining dough.
Place pumpkin rolls 2-inch apart on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and set aside for 20 minutes to rise again. Poke the middle with your finger to leave a center indentation. Preheat oven to 375 ºF.
Brush with egg wash.
Bake for 9-12 minutes until rolls are golden. Place nuts slices in the middle for pumpkin stem.
Brush the rolls with melted butter or a little honey to make rolls shine, if you wish.
Serve and enjoy!
