Ingredients:
3¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ginger
? teaspoon cloves
? teaspoon nutmeg
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) Red Star PLATINUM yeast
½ cup canned pumpkin
¼ cup warm water (about 120 to 130 degrees F)
¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into cubes
2 eggs
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Method:
This makes a dozen rolls.
In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine 1¾ cups flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and yeast. Add pumpkin, warm water, butter and eggs. Stir, adding just enough of remaining 1½ cups flour until a dough forms that pulls away from sides of bowl.
Knead dough with dough hook attachment in stand mixer on medium speed 5 minutes until smooth, soft, elastic and only slightly sticky. (or you can knead by hand) Shape dough into a ball, then place in a large lightly greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let proof in a warm place 1 hour until doubled.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down risen dough, then divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then place on prepared baking sheet spaced at least 2 inches apart. Cover with a tea towel or lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes until doubled.
Just before baking, use scissors to snip tops of rolls about ¼-inch deep. Brush tops and sides of rolls with egg wash. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
