Ingredients

For the dough

  • 4 cups flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast (or 1 packet)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened dairy free milk, warm
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla

For the topping

  • ⅔ cup vegan butter, melted, divided

Instructions

  • To a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, yeast, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Mix that together.
  • Add in the warm milk, pumpkin puree, softened vegan butter and vanilla. Combine with a spatula or turn on the mixer until a dough forms.
  • Remove the dough ball from bowl. Grease the bowl well and then place the dough back into the bowl. 
  • Cover and let rise for 45-60 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Once doubled, punch down dough and then pull off pieces (about 2.5 to 3oz- use a scale if you want, but it's not needed).
  • Roll into balls. 
  • Place each ball, seam side down, into a greased 9x13 baking pan. 
  • Cover pan and let rise for another 30 minutes. 
    *After this rise, you want the dough balls to slightly be touching each other. If they are not touching, give them a little bit longer. 
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees while rising this second time. 
  • Using ⅓ cup of melted butter, brush each roll liberally. 
  • Toss in oven 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven. Right before serving brush with remaining ⅓ cup melted butter again. 
  • Best served warmed. Makes 16 dinner rolls.
