Pumpkins aren’t just for carving – they’re for eating too! These adorable Pumpkin Shaped Rolls are delicious when served warm with melty butter on the inside.

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

7g/one package dried yeast (instant)

2 tsp caster sugar (superfine granulated sugar)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp nutmeg

3/4 cup whole milk

2/3 cup pumpkin purée

2 tbsp olive oil

1 egg yolk plus 1 Tbsp milk to glaze

6-10 cinnamon sticks

Tip: Our Pizza Stone is perfect for baking these rolls on.

Directions

Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the sugar, salt, turmeric and nutmeg and mix to combine.

Warm the milk until lukewarm (not too hot), add the yeast, stir and set aside for 5 minutes. Then mix with pumpkin purée and olive oil.

Using electric mixer, mix all of the ingredients (wet and dry) on low speed until combined. Then increase the speed slightly and mix for a further 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and cleanly leaves the side of the bowl.

Shape the dough into a ball. Lightly oil a mixing bowl and place the dough ball inside. Cover and leave the dough in warm place for about 1 hour, (it should double in size).

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it lightly for 20 seconds. Divide the dough into 6-10 even pieces. Shape each dough portion into a tight, smooth ball.

To create the pumpkin shape, lay a length of kitchen twine on the work surface. Place one dough ball in the middle of the string, then bring each end up and cross them over the dough ball as if wrapping a parcel. Repeat this wrapping with the twine so that it marks out 8 sections of the dough ball. Tie the string in a knot to secure it and place the ball on a lined baking tray with the knot underneath. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and leave them to prove at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat the egg yolk with the 1 tablespoon of milk and heat the oven to 350°F.

Carefully brush the rolls with egg wash and bake them for 20-25 minutes, until they are risen and golden brown.

Leave to cool for 2–3 minutes, then carefully cut and remove the string. Press a cinnamon stick into the top of each pumpkin for a stalk.

Enjoy!
