Best Pumpkin Dinner Rolls In The Bread Machine Recipes

PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLLS USING BREAD MAKER

Steps:

• 1. Add the first 9 ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed. My machine requires the wet ingredients first. Just check your manual if not sure on the order. Set aside the Pumpkin, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Egg Yolk, raisins and walnuts for the filling. Program bread machine for the dough setting. My dough cycle takes about 1 1/2 hours.
• 2. While waiting for the dough cycle to complete, prepare the filling by combining the pumpkin, cinnamon, pie spice and yolk in a small bowl. Mix well. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. When dough has risen completely, remove from bread pan. Place on a floured surface and knead slightly. (about 2-3 minutes) Roll dough into a large rectangle.
• 3. With a spatula or clean hand, spread out the 1/4 cup butter onto the dough, making sure that all areas have some butter on it. Sprinkle on brown sugar and gently pat down, adding on top of this the pumpkin mixture spreading evenly, and top this with raisins and walnuts as an optional ingredient.
• 4. Roll into a log like a jelly roll and cut into 8 equal pieces. Place the eight rolls in a prepared 13x9 inch baking pan. I use a glass pan that I have buttered the inside. You can use a non stick spray if you like.
• 5. Cover rolls with a clean towel and place in a warm area to rise. (about an hour).
• 6. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. When rolls have doubled in size place on middle oven rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
• 7. When finished remove to wire rack to cool, or serve warm. Icing is optional. NOTE: If you choose to freeze these, do not ice them before freezing. Let the rolls cool completely, wrap 1 or 2 in cling wrap and then place into freezer bag. Then you can pull the two out without having to defrost the whole thing to have one, and you can frost or not frost.

PUMPKIN DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the pumpkin, butter, sugar, eggs, salt and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into three portions. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and place pointed side down 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents., Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks.

PUMPKIN YEAST ROLLS OR BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. I used a bread machine for this recipe. You could also use a stand mixer. I also used fresh cooked, drained and pureed pumpkin. I used the juicy water that drained off as the water in my recipe.
• 2. Measure all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order given. Make a well in the flour on top to put the yeast in, making sure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients. Set the machine for the dough only setting.
• 3. When risen, shape into rolls or into long baguette-style loaves. Place into lightly greased pan(s). Allow to rise again until doubled in size. This could take anywhere from 30 minutes for rolls to 1 1/2 hours for loaves, depending on how warm your rising area is.
• 4. Bake at 375°F about 25 minutes for rolls or 30 minutes for baguettes. Turn out of pans onto racks to cool.
• 5. Serve rolls warm, or slice baguettes into 1-inch slices to serve. These are not too sweet and can be used for dinner or breakfast. REALLY good toasted with butter and orange marmalade!

PUMPKIN-SHAPED DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine warm milk, yeast, honey, and butter in a bowl; stir. Add salt and most of the flour, reserving the rest for dusting. Stir using a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
• Dust a work surface with the leftover flour. Knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, adding more flour as needed. Form dough into a ball that springs back lightly when pressed.
• Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased foil, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, cut kitchen string into 4 dozen 8- to 10-inch strands. Place strings in a bowl and toss with oil to coat; set aside.
• Press risen dough down on a work surface; reserve 3 to 4 tablespoons for forming "stems." Cut remaining dough in half and cut each half into 6 wedges. Roll each into a round ball by cupping your hand over the dough and pressing and rolling lightly in a circular motion for 10 to 15 seconds. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners.
• Place 4 pieces of string on your work surface. Crisscross strings over a center point into a star formation. Place a dough ball, smooth side-down, onto the center point. Firmly tie each string into a knot over the center of the roll. Snip off excess string using scissors.
• Place tied roll onto a prepared baking sheet, knot side-down. Repeat with remaining strings and dough balls.
• Let rolls rise for about 30 minutes.
• Sift a little flour on top of rolls. Shape reserved dough into "stems" and place them on the sheet next to the rolls.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, about 15 minutes. Cut strings off of each roll at the tops and peel down carefully and slowly to remove. Cut a small hole in the tops of each roll and press "stems" into each hole. Transfer pumpkin rolls to a serving platter.
