Equipment
Instant Pot
Baking Tray
Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- 1- 1 ½ cups Milk or as needed
- 2 tablespoon Butter or Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Instant Yeast or active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup or Sugar or Honey
- ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Or Whole-Wheat Flour
- ½ cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Spice-Mix
- 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt or as per taste
Instructions
- Press Saute in an Instant Pot and add Milk and Butter in the pot. When the butter starts to melt, switch off the Instant Pot in around 5 minutes.(Note: Take the inner pot out of the Instant Pot when the milk is warm in order to avoid the milk getting hot.)
- Wait for few minutes for the milk to cool down and is warm. Once the milk cools down and is warm, add Honey/ Maple Syrup and mix lightly. Then add the Yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes (or as per instructions). Wait for 5 minutes until the mixture gets foamy & bubbly.(Note: Butter and Milk mixture should not be too hot otherwise, Yeast will not work).
- After 5 minutes when the mixture gets foamy, add the rest of the ingredients (including flour, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice-mix, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt). Knead everything until a sticky dough is formed, you can also add more dough if needed.
- Close the lid and press the Yogurt button and set a timer for 1 hour. Once the timer beeps after 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size.Or you can leave the dough for 2-3 hours at a warm place like in a microwave, or in the oven with lights on. Just make sure the oven should not be hot.
- Coat your hands with Oil/Butter so that dough will not stick in your hands.
- Now take a small amount of dough, around 1 inch in diameter, and flatten it in your hands. Now stretch all the sides and wrap them together at the center like you're wrapping a gift. Place the ball seam side down in the pan. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
- Now make the dough shape like a pumpkin. You can make 6 cuts on the sides or you can use thread to shape the dough. Take a thread and put the dough on top of it and tie a knot by bringing the thread on the top. Take another thread and tie a knot by bringing the threads from other sides. Keep tieing the threads until the dough looks like a pumpkin. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
- Poke the finger at the center of the dough to make a little indentation on the dough pumpkin's top. Repeat the process with all dough pumpkins.
- Preheat the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes. Place the pumpkin rolls on the baking tray and cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes
- Check the buns after 30 minutes. If they are risen and are doubled in size then brush milk over the roll and bake for 15-20 minutes until a little golden in color.
- Once baked, brush the rolls with melted butter to make them shine. Insert pecan pieces at the center on the top to mimic the pumpkin stem.
