Eggless Pumpkin dinner rolls - Halloween special -Baking partenr's Challenge #17

    As Halloween approaches, this bread is apt for it  Swathi ,sent us the recipe for pumpkin bread, for Baking Partner's challenge. I prepared dinner rolls out of it. It goes very well with soup.Since ,it is Purattasi month, I replaced egg with curd.I have halved the recipe, reserved the remaining half dough for a stuffed bread. Which I will post later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Method:
Take a mixing bowl, add instant yeast . Now pour the warm water . Wait until it is foamy and gets dissolved into it.

I did not use egg, so have used 1/4 cup beaten curd for 1 egg. If you are going to use egg, beat that and add it to milk,pumpkin puree, oil,brown sugar,salt, cardamom pwdr, ginger pwdr. Add half of the flour.

 

Now mix all the ingredients well,wothout any lumps. Beat them for atleast 5 mins. Finally add the remaining flour and fold it well.

 

 

 

In a floured surface, knead the dough well. Till it forms elasticity. Place in a greased bowl for an hour in a warm place. It would have doubled after an hour.

 

Punch out the dough, for the air to escape.Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Divide them further into 3 tiny balls and place them on a greased muffin tray for second proofing. It took around 45 minutes for the second rise.

Pre heat the oven at 375 degrees F. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and brush the dinner rolls with oil. Bake the dinner rolls for 20 minutes. Let it cool completely. Serve for dinner with soup.
