Pumpkin Dinner Rolls
 Pumpkin Dinner Rolls I think you will love these Pumpkin Dinner Rolls. They are perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. They are soft and light with a taste of pumpkin. Just think about how festive they will look on your holiday table. The easiest way to cut the rolls is to make the cuts at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. I used a pair of kitchen shears. A knife will pull the dough into a shape that won’t make these shaped right. Cut half way towards the center. Then make 4 more cuts in between the first cuts. You will have 8 petals. Brushing the rolls with the egg and water mixture will make the rolls shiny. A few of them had to be recut after rising to make sure the pieces were separate.
