Pumpkin Milk Bread Rolls - #BreadBakers

Nothing beats the smell of bread baking. Nothing. I made these just for the fun of it. Just for the pleasure of seeing the dough transformed. Just for the pleasure of smelling them in the oven. Just for the pleasure of ripping one and looking at the soft crumb. One day, one day, hopefully, I can bite in too. Just as this sensitivity snuck in one day, I'm hoping it will sneak out again. 

These rolls come from King Arthur Baking and are pretty versatile. My mother assures me that the flavour is neutral so it can be paired with any dish. I'll be making these again to use for sliders. 

Pumpkin Milk Bread Rolls 

Ingredients 

Tangzhong 

85 grams milk 

30 grams bread flour 

Dough 

3/4 cup pumpkin puree 

6 tablespoons oil

1/4 sugar 

1 tablespoons instant yeast 

2 teaspoons salt 

1 egg

2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons bread flour 

Directions 

To make the tangzhong, whisk the milk and flour until there are no lumps and place in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constatnly until the mixture is thick and the spoon leaves lines on the bottom of the pan. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not walk away!! 

Add the tangzhong to a larger bowl and then add all the other ingredietns. Mix for about 2 minutes on low speed then increase the speed to medium-high and knead for an additional 8 to 12 minutes. The dough will be sodt and smooth and slightly sticky. Do not add more flour unless it's extrememly sticky.  Cover and let rise at room temperature and bulk ferment in the fridge overnight. 

Grease a round 9 inch pan.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces and form into tight balls and place in the pan.  Cover and let rise until puffy. Depending on room temperature, this could take 30 mins to 1 1/2 hours. 

Preheat oven to 375 F.  

When the dough is puffy, brush with milk and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. The dough can get browned very quickly so you can tent with some foil aorund 20 minutes. 

Cool and devour.
