Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit egg, large
• 1 unit egg yolk, for egg wash
• 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead until the dough comes together and is smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-inch rope and tie it into a loose knot, tucking the ends underneath.

Step 6

Arrange the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the top of each roll with the egg wash.

Step 9

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
