How To Make Ameera’s Pumpkin Rolls With Honey Cinnamon Butter

Servings: 24 rolls | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Rest Time: 2:45 hours

Ingredients For Pumpkin Rolls

20 grams of active dry yeast

320 mL whole milk

100 grams light brown sugar

480 grams of canned pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

1,020 grams of all-purpose flour

2.5 teaspoons of grey salt

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

2 teaspoons of ground ginger

½ teaspoon allspice

½ teaspoon nutmeg

90 grams unsalted butter (melted)

70 grams coconut oil (melted)

24 pecan halves or 12 cinnamon sticks cut in half 

Twine

Ingredients for honey cinnamon butter 

113 grams of unsalted butter, room temperature

84 grams of honey

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (or smoked cinnamon)

1 teaspoon of salt 

Directions For Pumpkin Rolls

(We recommend using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment to make the dough, but this can be done by hand too.) 

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. In an electric mixer bowl, whisk together the yeast, brown sugar, and milk. Let it rest, and get foamy after about 10 minutes. 
3. Once the yeast is bubbly, add the eggs and pumpkin puree, salt, and spices. 
4. Once all mixed, add in coconut oil and butter, making sure both are melted and cooled before adding to the mix.  
5. Add flour gradually to the mixture, using the dough hook attachment. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit of flour. 
6. Once the dough is soft and smooth to the touch. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, and let rise for 2 hours on top of a previously preheated oven.
7. After, push the dough down into the bowl, and scrape dough onto a floured surface, then break dough with floured palms into 24 even pieces.
8. Shape the dough into balls. 
9. To make the balls look like pumpkins, oil a knife or kitchen scissors and cut 8 slits around the ball to make the pumpkin “grooves.” Do not cut into the center of the ball. OR take oiled twine and rope around the ball, to get the same shape. Remove twine after baking. 
10. Place pumpkin balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and let them rise for 45 minutes. 
11. Once proofed, create a small insert for pecans creating a space for the “stem.” 
12. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. 
13. Take pecan halves (or cinnamon stick halves) and insert them on the top of the roll. To make this bread nut-free, substitute the coconut oil for any flavorless oil and use cinnamon sticks instead of pecans to top the bread.
14. Serve the pumpkin rolls with honey cinnamon butter(recipe below).
