10 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, brown sugar, yeast, salt, pie spice and 2 cups flour. In a small saucepan, heat 3/4 cup milk, syrup and 2 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in pumpkin and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. 2
    Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Divide and shape dough into 16 balls. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°.
  4. 4
    Brush remaining milk over dough. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. 5
    Melt remaining butter; brush over hot rolls. Remove from pans to wire racks; serve warm.
