These Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are so soft and fluffy and easier than you might think! You’ll love how delicious they are with just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. They are my go-to fall dinner roll recipe and they are perfect for Thanksgiving and other holiday dinners.
In a large bowl combine sourdough starter, water, yeast, salt, sugar and oil.
Add pumpkin and 3 cups of flour. Combine with wooden spoon.
Continue adding 1/2 cups of flour until your dough is sticky, but not too sticky that you can't knead it. You will use anywhere from 4 to 5 cups of flour total.
Once dough is made, knead it inside the bowl for 5 minutes.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let set in a warm place for 1 hour. Dough should approximately double in size.
Punch dough down with your hands.
With floured hands, form dough into small dinner rolls. Place on sprayed pan (with nonstick spray) or on silicone baking sheets. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake rolls for 20 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush rolls with melted butter and continue baking.
