Pumpkin Crescent Rolls With Honey Butter
- 5 12-6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup water
- 12 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 13 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 14 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- In a large mixing bowl stir together 2 cups of the all-purpose flour and the yeast; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan heat and stir pumpkin, the water, milk powder, the 6 tablespoons butter, the brown sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon over medium heat until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F) and butter just melts.
- Add pumpkin mixture and eggs to flour mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly.
- Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the whole wheat flour and as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as you can.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total).
- Shape dough into a ball.
- Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough.
- Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (1 hour).
- Punch dough down.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide into thirds.
- Cover dough; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, lightly grease three baking sheets or line them with parchment paper; set aside.
- Make Honey Butter: In a small mixing bowl beat butter and honey with an electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy.
- On the lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 12-inch circle.
- Spread with Honey Butter.
- Cut each dough circle into 12 wedges.
- To shape rolls, begin at wide end of each wedge and loosely roll toward the point.
- Place, point sides down, 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover and bake rolls, 1 or 2 sheets at a time, about 15 minutes or until golden, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking if necessary.
- (Cover and chill remaining baking sheets until ready to bake.)
- Brush tops of rolls with melted butter.
- Serve warm.
