Easy Soft and Fluffy Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

October 13, 2020 By Valya of Valya's Taste of Home 4 Comments

It’s that time of the year again, guys! The days of rain, colors, pumpkins, and rolls! Everywhere you turn you see pumpkin baked goods of all sorts of colors and shapes. So, why is your dinner roll still plain flavored? Add a little pumpkin and these Easy Soft and Fluffy Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are truly as dreamy as the title describes them.

These Easy Soft and Fluffy Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are truly as dreamy as the title describes them. When it's rainy out, it is the perfect season to stay in and enjoy all kinds of comfy, nothing-like-homemade seasonal foods, such as these delicious, soft, fluffy, and pillowy pumpkin dinner rolls.

This year, there have been a lot of things that are not necessarily as they appear that leave us wondering. These dinner rolls fit right in. Are they croissants? Are they dinner rolls? Let’s be perfectly upfront, they are croissant-shaped dinner rolls! Sometimes a little twist like making dinner rolls look cooler makes it more appealing for kids to grab and eat. And adding seasonal favors just makes them even better.

When it’s rainy out, it is the perfect season to stay in and enjoy all kinds of comfy, nothing-like-homemade seasonal foods, such as these delicious, soft, fluffy, and pillowy pumpkin dinner rolls. And take the ‘boring’ out by rolling them into croissants, and they are that much tastier! At least that’s what my kids said. You’ll be finding yourself sneaking in a few extras even after dinner is over. Enjoy, my friends!

Pumpkin Dinner Rolls Batter Ingredients

  • Lukewarm water
  • Organic Sugar (or white granulated sugar)
  • Dry active yeast
  • Eggs (I used home raised chicken eggs)
  • Sea salt
  • Pumpkin puree (I used homemade pumpkin puree made out with homegrown pumpkin)
  • Unsalted softened butter
  • Organic all-purpose flour
  • Sesame seeds for topping

How to Make Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

Combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a mixer bowl and give it a good stir, until sugar melts. Place the bowl in a warm place while you’re preparing the rest of the ingredients. 

How to Make Easy Soft and Fluffy Pumpkin Dinner Rolls Recipe

In a separate bowl, measure out and sift the flour, and set aside until ready for use. 

Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Set aside the egg white from the yolk of one egg in a separate small bowl (you will need this egg white for brushing the rolls later). Add the three egg yolks and two egg whites into the mixer bowl with the yeast mixture.

Then, add salt, pumpkin puree, and whisk it all together for a couple of minutes or until combined.

Next, add half of the flour, and mix using the dough hook attachment on low/med speed. Then, mix in the softened (to room temperature) butter.

Add in flour next. About ½ cup at a time thereafter while the dough is mixing. After all of the flour is in and the dough is not sticking to the spatula or sides of the mixer bowl, that’s the sign of thoroughly mixed yeast dough. 

Finally, cover the mixer bowl with a plastic wrap, puncture a few holes with a knife so the dough can breathe, and place it into a warm place for an hour to rise.

Preheat the oven to 325 F. After the dough has tripled in size, gently push it down with a silicon spatula or your hand. 

Transfer the dough onto a working surface dusted with flour. Roll the dough into a log and split it into four equal sized pieces (I like to use a kitchen scale to make sure all the pieces weigh the same).

Shaping and Glazing Pumpkin Dinner Rolls Instructions

Work with one piece of dough at a time. Roll it into an even circle, and slice twelve equal triangles. Then, just roll each triangle into a croissant-like roll.

Place rolled dinner rolls onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Beat one egg white and two tables of water until combined. Brush each roll with the egg white wash and then sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

    Can the Pumpkin dinner rolls be made ahead of time and frozen?

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
