Soft, fluffy, and packed with cozy autumn flavors, these Maple Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are the perfect addition to your holiday table or any meal that needs a comforting touch. Infused with pure pumpkin puree, a hint of warm cinnamon, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup, these rolls strike a delightful balance between sweet and savory. Their pillowy texture is achieved through a dough enriched with melted butter and a touch of milk, kneaded to perfection and baked until golden brown. Brushed with melted butter for an irresistible sheen, these rolls are as beautiful as they are delicious. Easy to make and perfect for serving warm, they pair wonderfully with soups, roasted turkey, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup. Whether for Thanksgiving or a cozy family dinner, these homemade maple pumpkin rolls will steal the show!
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter, and egg.
Add the frothy yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed (or stirring with a wooden spoon).
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes by hand on a floured surface or 5-6 minutes using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and arrange them on a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy and touching each other.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
