Deliciously soft and fluffy pumpkin pull apart rolls infused with warm sage butter. These aromatic, golden-brown rolls combine the natural sweetness of pumpkin puree with fragrant sage, perfect for cozy gatherings or holiday meals.

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 10 g (2 tsp) yeast
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp softened butter

For the Sage Butter

  • ¾ cup butter
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped sage

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and begin mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together.
  3. Add Pumpkin and Butter: Incorporate the softened butter and pumpkin puree into the dough. Knead with the mixer for 5 minutes until a soft, elastic, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape Rolls: Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces for medium rolls (use 8 pieces for larger rolls or 12 for smaller). Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased loaf pan close together.
  6. Proof Rolls: Cover the shaped rolls and let them proof for another hour as you preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  7. Prepare Sage Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix with 2 teaspoons of chopped sage. Separately, combine the softened butter with the remaining chopped sage, seasoning with salt and pepper for serving.
  8. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are risen, golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Glaze and Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them immediately with the melted sage butter. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving with the softened sage butter spread.

Notes

  • Use fresh sage for the best flavor impact in both the melted and softened butter.
  • Ensure water temperature is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable; add a little flour if too wet.
  • For larger rolls, divide the dough into 8 pieces and bake slightly longer as needed.
  • Brush rolls with butter immediately after baking to lock in moisture and add richness.
