This post was supposed to be up before Thanksgiving! These beautiful rolls were the chosen ones for Aparna’s We Knead To Bake group.Though I made it before the dead line, I could not post it on time.So here are the beautiful rolls that look like it will take a lot of your time, but are actually very easy to make!
I used:
All purpose flour – 2 1/2- 2 2/3 cups
Pumpkin puree- 1/2 cup
Butter- 40 grams , melted
Warm milk-1/3 cup
Honey- 2 tablespoons
Instant yeast- 2 teaspoons
Cinnamon powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Ginger powder- 1 teaspoon
Alspice powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Add the pumpkin puree and milk , honey and melted butter.
Bring the ingredients together and knead well for 10 minutes.Place in an oiled vessel and cover and keep aside till it doubles. Mine doubled in an hour.
Punch out the air and divide into 6 equal sized portions .Roll into balls , flatten a little and using a sharp knife or a pair of scissors make 5 cuts at equal distance from each
other, from the edge of the ball towards the centre but leaving the centre
uncut – like a flower.
Bake in a pre heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Take them out of the oven and brush the rolls with melted butter or a little honey diluted with water for a shine, if you like that.
Let them cool and then place a sliced pecan piece for the “stem”into the indentation of each roll. You can also celery stalks, chives or the stalks of small bell peppers for the “stems. I used the seeds of Dates.
Delicious rolls are ready to be served
If you would like sweeter rolls, replace the 2 tbsp of honey with 1/8 to 1/4 cup of sugar depending on how sweet you want them.You can use canned pumpkin purée if you find that easier
