PUMPKIN NUTMEG DINNER ROLLS
Steps:
- In a small bowl proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon of the sugar in the milk for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. In a large bowl combine well 7 cups of the flour, the nutmeg, the salt, and the remaining sugar and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the whole egg, the pumpkin purée, and the yeast mixture and stir the dough until it is combined well.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it, incorporating as much of the remaining 1 cup flour as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking, for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball, transfer it to a well-buttered large bowl, and turn it to coat it with the butter. Let the dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide it into 14 pieces, and form each piece into a ball. Fit the balls into a buttered 10-inch springform pan and let them rise, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until they are almost double in bulk. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let the rolls cool slightly in the pan, remove the side of the pan, and serve the rolls warm. The rolls may be made 1 week in advance and kept wrapped well and frozen. Reheat the rolls, wrapped in foil, in a preheated 350°F. oven for 25 minutes, or until they are heated through.
NUTMEG ROLLS
I can't bring myself to roll these down to only 1/4" wide. I mean really, I want cookies, not toothpicks! I can manage 1/2 an inch well enough and I get nicely sized cookies with that.

Tips:
- Choose the right nutmeg. Freshly grated nutmeg has the best flavor. Look for whole nutmeg in the spice section of your grocery store and grate it yourself using a microplane or nutmeg grater.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make the dough easier to work with and will help prevent it from sticking to your work surface.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the more flaky the rolls will be.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Don't overload the dough with filling, or it will be difficult to roll up.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the rolls.
- Serve the rolls warm. Nutmeg rolls are best served warm from the oven. You can also toast them in a toaster oven or air fryer.
