For a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar. A touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can be added to the dough for a warmer spice profile. Brush the baked rolls with melted butter for an extra touch of decadence. To make ahead, shape the rolls and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd 1 cup sugar, eggs, and yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir in scalded milk and pumpkin puree until a soft dough forms. (3 minutes)
04
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
05
StepPlace the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
06
StepPunch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a knot or a round roll. (15 minutes)
07
StepArrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise again for 30 minutes.
08
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
09
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon sugar until combined. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
10
StepBake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
