Last week I sadly wrapped up my pumpkin recipe series. It was sad. I still have 3 cans of pumpkin to use, and no one to share the recipes with.
I {heart} pumpkin.
Just in case you missed them, here are the recipes:
- Turkey Pumpkin Chili
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Pumpkin Pie Waffles
- Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
Goodbye pumpkin, hello Thanksgiving!
For the next couple of weeks I’m sharing my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. You’re welcome.
One of my all time favorite parts of Thanksgiving are the rolls. Light, buttery, flakey. There’s an entire basket of them, calling my name, teasing me with their warmth and yeasty scent. They beacon me, entice me, demand to be covered in soft butter and shoved into my mouth. One. After. The. Other.
I have a thing about buying store bough breads. I just don’t do it. Unless my bread machine is broken and I’m without out for 1.5 torturous months, I make all of the bread and bread-like foods that we eat. And of course I have a favorite roll recipe.
This particular recipe actually has many uses. It’s my go-to recipe for hamburger buns, hot dog buns, dinner rolls, sub buns, garlic bread, and a million other things.
It’s so good. And perfect for Thanksgiving dinner rolls.
Thanksgiving Dinner Rolls
From The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook
- 2-pound loaf
- 1-1/4 cups water
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
- 3 tablespoons instant potato flakes (I often use garlic flavored)
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon gluten
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2-1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
- 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for glaze
Place all of the ingredients in the bread machine pan according in the order recommended for your bread machine. Set for the Dough cycle.
Grease the cups of a standard muffin tin. When the dough cycle ends, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With a rolling pic, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 18 x 14 inches, 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Brush the surface with melted butter. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 long strips of equal width {there will be 6 strips total}. Stack the strips on top of each other to form a layered pile. With a sharp knife, cut in half. Cut each half into 6 equal portions {12 total}. Place each portion in a muffin cup with the cut edges facing up {they will fan open as they bake}. Brush each with melted butter.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375º.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove the rolls from the muffin tin. Serve warm with a pat of butter and your favorite turkey dinner.
P.S. If you want to use this recipe for rolls or buns, follow the directions below.
Hot Dog Rolls or Buns
When the dough cycle has finished, turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal potions. For hamburger buns form each portion into tight rounds. For long rolls, flatten each portion into an oval about 6 inches long and rolling up tightly from a long end to form a cylinder. Place the rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray at least 1 inch apart. Press with your palm to flatten each roll. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375º.
Brush the rolls with the egg glaze. Bake for 15-22 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove the rolls from the sheet and let cool completely on a rack. Slice in half horizontally to serve.

Oh dear I don’t have a bread maker! We’ve been thinking about it though…
For those pumpkins you have left, guess you’ll have to make this and tell us all about it….

It’s pretty easy to make this recipe without a bread machine. There are some good instructions here:

Those brownies sound so good!
Wow, these look delicious! And, I’m still going to make those pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, they look sooo good!
I’ve heard really good things by people who have made the cookies. Let me know how they turn out for you!
Dinner Rolls are one of my favorites! I reckon I can also add a bit of Cinnamon to it right?
I would think so, but you probably don’t want to use garlic potato flakes. Those flavors may not go together very well.
Those dinner rolls are beautiful. I’m feeling inspired to invest in a bread machine.
Bread machines are so worth it. I use mine at least 2 times a week.
Your dinner rolls look beautiful. I love that you can make them in the bread machine!
So easy, right?
I’ve been making a lot of bread for our family lately. Yesterday, I made crescent rolls for breakfast, YUM! If you wanted to make another pumpkin recipe, I tried Pumpkin Parmesan pasta sauce last week, it was yummy! My husband who doesn’t like pumpkin didn’t even realize it was pumpkin until I told him!
I haven’t tackled crescent rolls yet, but they are on my list.
Pumpkin Parmesan sauce sounds wonderful. Can you send me the recipe?
Well those just look gorgeous! I also do my Thanksgiving day rolls in a bread machine. it’s so fabulous to just let it do the work and which only leaves the easy stuff
I do a crescent roll version of this which is also quite simple and they taste awesome! They seriously almost melt in your mouth. My sweet dinner rolls recipe
I couldn’t live without my bread machine. Seriously.
Yum…those look tasty.
I prefer homemade rolls most of the time as well. I like that these use potato flakes.
It gives the rolls a unique flavor. This recipe is perfect for just about any type of roll.
These are stunning rolls. How nice to have rolls that not only taste great but also look great. Thanks for linking this to My Meatless Mondays.
Thanks Chaya!
Beautiful–not only do these look delicious–they are so pretty! I have been looking for a bread machine–where do you buy one these days?
I bought my last two from Overstock.com. Most of their products are refurbished. Make sure you get the replacement plan, it paid off for me.
I saw these beautiful rolls and couldn’t resist saving them as well. Not that I’ll get around to baking them, but will maybe assign to my sous chef granddaughter.
I made these for Thanksgiving dinner tonight and they were a big hit…I used the plain potato flakes but for half of them I melted the brushed-on butter with crushed garlic. So good – thanks!
I’m so glad they were a hit!
