Pumpkin Crescent Rolls

​My mom makes the BEST homemade yeast rolls and this year, she is going to be at my house for Thanksgiving!  (hint, hint, hint, mom)  I do have a batch of pumpkin crescent rolls in my freezer just in case we get too busy and these are ALMOST as good as my mom's famous rolls.  I served these rolls at my Halloween get together and I put the leftovers in the freezer.   (mostly to stop myself from eating them.)  This roll recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens and I have a feeling it is going to become a holiday tradition at my house.

Pumpkin Crescent Rolls with Honey Butter
5 1/2 - 6 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
Honey Butter
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. 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.
On the lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 12-inch circle.

​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 sheet[s] until ready to bake.)
