Golden pumpkin dinner rolls in a skillet.

I am a big fan of homemade dinner rolls, as they are fresh off the oven.

The store-bought ones are just not going to match as they are cold and stale.

Peeling these warm pumpkin dinner rolls off one another was such a satisfying feeling, and slathering butter on the warm rolls and watch it melt, ahhhh.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Rising Time 2 hours 30 minutes

Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm milk
4 tablespoons softened butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pumpkin purée, canned pumpkin
4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl, mix and knead — using your hands, a stand mixer, or a bread machine set on the dough cycle — to make a soft, smooth dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, and allow it to rise for 60 to 75 minutes, until it's puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk. Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Round each piece into a smooth ball.
Lightly grease a large cast-iron skillet or a sheet pan and arrange the dough. Cover the skillet or sheet pan, and allow the rolls to rise until they're crowded against one another and quite puffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
Uncover the rolls, and bake them for about 20 minutes. Cover the top with aluminum foil if they brown too fast. Remove the rolls from the oven, and brush with melted butter. Serve warm. Freeze for longer storage.

This recipe states it makes 24 rolls, but in your photos there are 16. Are the rolls just really tiny? Did you split them into two skillets? Very confused, thank you.

I love making dinner rolls and was delighted to find your recipe since I made pumpkin purée from scratch. Mine turned out just perfectly! Next time I might cut down a bit on the spices and add a bit more sugar. I brushed my rolls with a mixture of 2Tbsp butter, and 1Tbsp Maple Syrup. Thank you for the recipe. I’ll be making them again soon.
