Classic shape plus not-so-classic flavors gives these rolls an element of surprise. That's not to say the wintry blend of pumpkin and orange is overpowering; it's actually very subtle, so the rolls go with just about anything you put on the dinner table. Leftovers would be awfully good slathered with butter and toasted for breakfast
Ingredients:
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
3 cups white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to Bread Machine and select 'Dough' function.
2. When done, punch down dough (do not knead) then halve. Roll half of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands into a 12 inch long log (keep remaining half covered in plastic.).
3. Cut log into 6 equal pieces, then cut each piece into thirds. Roll each piece into a 1 inch ball by cupping your hand and pushing dough against work surface as you roll in circular motion. Put 3 balls side by side in each of 6 muffin cups.
4. Make more rolls with the remaining dough in the same manner. Cover rolls with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until dough is about 1 inch above the rim of the muffin cups, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in the middle.
6. (If desired, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tbsp water and brush on top of rolls).
7. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool at least 20 minutes.
