It’s November, which means it’s officially Holiday Season! Even though I start making my pumpkin recipes in October, these pumpkin dinner rolls would be perfect for your Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) feast. Don’t forget about the rosemary maple butter! It’s so good, you’ll want to put it on EVERYTHING. In the video, we followed my friend’s original recipe, but the dough wasn’t rising as much as we’d like. For time’s sake, we baked them anyway, and they were still delicious. Using yeast is always tricky, but for a more reliable bread roll recipe, check the notes section at the bottom of the recipe.

Notes
-
Warm the milk in a bowl in the microwave for just about 1 minute until it is warm. Pour it into a large bowl.
-
Add in the sugar and salt, then stir the mixture. Allow it to sit until it is warm, but not too hot (if you have a thermometer, it should measure about 105-110 degrees in order activate the yeast). Add 1 package of instant yeast right to this milk.
-
Heat the water and milk in the microwave for about 1 minute until it is warm (about 105-110F). Stir in the sugar and salt and add 1 packet of active dry yeast. Pour this mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer.
-
Add the softened butters and pumpkin puree and mix until it’s well-combined.
-
Gradually add in the flour, 1 cup at a time and mix until the flour is fully incorporated. Switch to a dough hook or turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the bread until it’s smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Add flour as needed. The dough should still feel sticky, but it will not stick to your hands.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
-
Split the dough into golf ball sized balls and place 18 in a greased 9×13 pan, about an inch apart. They should not be touching at this point.
-
Cover and rise in a warm place until the dough balls have doubled in size again.
-
Bake at 350F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned, and then brush the tops with melted butter.
