Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon SAF Instant yeast (this is what I use)
  • 1 teaspoon Dough Enhancer (optional-it makes the rolls fluffy)
  • 1/2 scant teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1-3/4 to 2 cups white all-purpose flour (I use bread flour)
Instructions
  1. Grease a 10-inch round cake pan and set it aside.

  2. Grab a bowl and a Danish Whisk.

  3. Dump everything in a large greased bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Stir until mixed thoroughly.

  4. Add more flour to the dough if the dough is too sticky. Don't add too much; we want the dough fluffy.

  5. Flour your countertop or work surface and scoop the dough out. Knead for about 3-4 minutes.

  6. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces (never stretch your dough).

  7. Take each section and mound it into a smooth ball, and place the eight balls in the greased pan.

  8. Cover with plastic wrap or a warm, wet towel.

  9. Let rise for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Slightly brush the tops with butter after baking for softer dinner rolls. Or use a baggie slathered with butter to spread on the warm rolls.

  11. Let cool. Store in bags to keep the dinner rolls soft. Enjoy.
