Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Heat the milk in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Add the sugar and salt to the bowl with milk. Stir to combine. Sprinkle the package of yeast on top of the milk mixture and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Add the softened butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the flour, one cup at a time, until you have added 4 ½ cups flour. The dough should start to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add another ¼ cup to ½ cup flour.
5. Remove the dough and knead by hand for a few minutes.
6. Spray the inside of a bowl with cooking spray. Place the ball of dough in the bowl, cover with a towel, and set in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes. You want the dough to double in size.
7. Remove the dough from the bowl and split into 15 equal sized pieces. Form into balls and place in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover with a towel and set in a warm place to rise for another 20 minutes.
8. Remove the towel and bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Serve warm.
