Pumpkin Dinner Rolls
Fall is in the air! And definitely in the early night sky thanks to daylight savings. It’s crazy how it seems to turn to a cold and dark fall overnight once it comes. But as long as I’ve got plenty of soup and a warm cozy house I’ll be great this season! Then of course let’s not forget the rolls for all of that soup. I almost always have some sort of side with my soups and more often than not it’s either some type of fresh bread or rolls. I have my favorite dinner roll recipe and my 1-hour dinner roll recipe (which is a close second. I love it for the times when I’m in a hurry to get some rolls made), but I’ve wanted a roll that has more of the autumn flavors to it, plus the perfect autumn color. And these are just that! Of course, these Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, which is not too far around the corner and never too early to start planning for.
Photo Guide How to Make Pumpkin Rolls
Following the instructions below, start with your instant yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Mix your homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin pie filling into the yeast mixture.
Add in your dry ingredients with a stir.
Use a dough hook to combine your ingredients, scraping down the side of the bowl.
Place the smooth ball of dough in a greased bowl to rise.
Divide the rolled out dough into equal pieces.
Roll dough pieces into dough balls or triangle roll-ups.
Bake pumpkin bread rolls until golden brown (add an egg wash before baking if you want that shiny crust!).
Use a silicon mat or parchment paper on your baking pan for easy removal. Brush baked rolls with a tablespoon or two of melted butter.
I’m sure that in the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing plenty of Thanksgiving recipes so we may as well get started now, right? These rolls have the perfect hint of pumpkin flavor with just the right amount of pumpkin pie spice. And if you want to go all out be sure to serve them with the cinnamon honey butter, it takes them from delicious to over-the-top perfection!
