October’s Spice: Sesame Seeds

Recipe: Pumpkin Rolls

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 5.5-6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Sesame seeds

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk.
  2. Add the butter, sugar, pumpkin, 2 eggs, salt, and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth.
  3. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
  4. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
  5. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into 12 balls.
  7. Roll each ball into a 10-in. rope; tie into a knot and tuck ends under.
  8. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  9. In a small bowl, beat water and remaining egg. Brush over rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  10. Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Remove from pans to wire racks.
