These delicately-flavoured rolls add a festive touch to any table, and are surprisingly easy to make! Ingredients:
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast |
1 cup warm milk (, 110 to 115f) |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup cooked pumpkin or 1 cup cooked canned pumpkin |
3 eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
5 1/2-6 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon cold water |
sesame seeds (optional) or poppy seed (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk.
2. Add the butter, sugar, pumpkin, 2 eggs, salt and 3 cups flour.
3. Beat until smooth.
4. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
6. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
7. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
8. Punch dough down.
9. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half.
10. Shape each portion into 12 balls.
11. Roll each ball into a 10-inch rope; tie into a knot and tuck ends under, place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
12. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
13. In a small bowl, beat water and remaining egg.
14. Brush over rolls.
15. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
16. Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
