Directions
Pumpkin Knot Yeast Rolls, These are the softest and most delicious rolls I’ve ever had. There’s NOT a bit of pumpkin flavor….the pumpkin just seems to add moistness and color. My father and brother who don’t eat pumpkin love these rolls when I make them at holiday dinners. I have to make a double batch because some people just sit and fill up on these rolls instead of dinner. They stay soft for days if wrapped. Prep time includes the waiting time for rising., I have made these several times. My whole family loves them and they stay moist so much longer than most years rolls. However I was wondering if you can refrigerate the dough overnight then finish the next day, I’m thinking of making these as gifts to ship to my out of state relatives. Has anyone tried shipping? Will they still be soft when they arrive a few days after baking? Any suggestions on how to wrap them to keep them fresh longer? Thanks, Catherine
