"These rolls are soft, slightly chewy, and the pumpkin puree keeps them moist and adds just enough tooth-sinking density. The pumpkin flavor is present, but not overly so, making them a perfect choice for those who may not love bold pumpkin flavors. The honey-butter adds sweetness and helps keep them soft and moist. They're a fairly fast yeast recipe to make because the dough rises like a champ, and they're ready from start to finish in under 2 hours. It's a smooth, easy dough to work with and not at all sticky. The recipe makes a modest batch of rolls, nice for singles or small families and extras freeze beautifully.They're great for week nights when you want fresh dinner rolls, but don't need dozens. I've built in a make ahead option, see step 12. Enjoy them at your next fall holiday gathering. It's my new go-to pumpkin dinner roll recipe after trying many over the years...."
