Instructions
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.
- 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.
