Description:
These delightful Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are a perfect accompaniment to any main dish. Light, fluffy, and infused with the warm flavors of pumpkin, they are a delightful treat for your taste buds. You can even use fresh, home-cooked pumpkin puree if you prefer over canned. Each roll is approximately 1 1/2 oz, and this recipe yields about 3 pounds of delicious dough.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 7 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 5-6 cups all-purpose flour
- Butter for greasing
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large bowl, pour the warm water and sprinkle the dry yeast over the surface. Stir gently to moisten the yeast, then let it sit for a few minutes to start dissolving. π₯ |
| 2 | Stir in the fresh pumpkin puree, unsalted butter, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups of the all-purpose flour. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. π |
| 3 | Gradually add in enough of the remaining flour to form a dough that is soft and can be handled easily. πͺ |
| 4 | Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. π |
| 5 | Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to coat the dough with a thin layer of butter. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, which should take about 1 hour. β° |
| 6 | Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into two equal halves. Shape each half into a round shape, then divide each half into 16 equal portions, making a total of 32 dough balls. π |
| 7 | Grease two 9-inch square baking pans with butter. Place the dough balls into the prepared pans, spacing them evenly. Cover the pans loosely with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again until doubled in size, which should take about 45 minutes. π½οΈ |
| 8 | Preheat your oven to 350ΒΊF (175ΒΊC). |
| 9 | Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through. π |
| 10 | Keep an eye on the rolls while baking; if some areas brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning, then continue baking until done. ποΈ |
| 11 | Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy! π½οΈπ |
