Serves: 20 dinner rolls or 12 and a loaf of bread
 
Tender, light pumpkin dinner rolls, ready in less than 3 hours. Makes great toast if you do a loaf of bread.
Ingredients
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Add 1/4 cup warm water to a tablespoon of the sugar and the yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes until it starts to bubble.
  2. Add the remaining water, milk, sugar, pumpkin, butter and eggs to a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Add the yeast. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt. Using a dough hook continue to mix until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the work bow. You may need to add a little additional flour. Knead with the dough hook for about 5 - 7 minutes until the dough is satiny and elastic.
  4. Cover the bowl, set in a warm place and allow the dough to rise. If you have time punch down when the dough has doubled and let rise a second time. If not place the dough on a floured surface and spread out the dough into 16 x 20 area. Trim the sides to square up the dough. Cut the dough into squares. I did a dozen rolls and used the remaining dough to make a loaf of bread. Allow the rolls to rise, covered.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees. Bake time for the rolls is 15 minutes and about 40 minutes on the bread.
