   • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
   • Add pumpkin puree and warm milk to the mixture.
   • Mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl until the ingredients come together.
   • Increase the speed to medium and add the unsalted butter one piece at a time, incorporating each piece into the mixture before adding another.
   • Mix the dough until silky smooth, approximately 5 minutes. If the dough is too wet, gradually add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 6 minutes.

2. First Rise:

   • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl.
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until almost doubled in size, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

3. Shape Rolls:

   • Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 18 equal pieces.
   • Roll each piece between your hands to form a ball.
   • Place the balls of dough on baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal, ensuring there is about 2 inches of space between each roll.

4. Second Rise:

   • Cover the rolls with kitchen towels and let them rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

5. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and produce a hollow sound when tapped, approximately 15-20 minutes.

6. Serve:

   • Once baked, transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
