Let's first start by making our pumpkin dinner roll dough!

To do this, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a mixer bowl and give it a good stir, until the sugar melts. Place the bowl in a warm place while you're preparing the rest of the ingredients. This will give the yeast enough time to activate.

In a separate bowl, measure out and sift the flour, and set it 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 since you will need this egg white for brushing the rolls later.

Add the three egg yolks and two egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer along with the yeast mixture. Alternatively, you can also use a large mixing bowl in case you decide to knead it by hand.

Time for our pumpkin puree! Now add salt, and 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 butter that has been softened to room temperature.

Add in flour next, and add 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 bowl, that's the sign of thoroughly mixed yeast dough. It should look like a smooth ball at this stage.

Finally, cover the mixer bowl with 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. Alternatively, you can cover it with a tea towel.

If you're going the hand kneading route, you may need some additional flour to get the right texture of the dough. You can easily knead it as you'd normally knead any dough. Just make sure to do it on a lightly floured surface. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it in the same manner you would with a mixer bowl as mentioned above.

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

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a log and split it into four equal-sized pieces. I personally like to use a kitchen scale to make sure all the pieces weigh the same, but you can also

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.

Time to make our egg wash! 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. The egg wash will give the dinner rolls a beautiful golden brown color.

Bake in a preheated oven to 325 F for 17 minutes, or until golden brown in color. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
