User Comments:
- "These rolls were so delicious and easy to make. The pumpkin flavor was subtle, but it added such a nice touch."
- "I love how these rolls held up to sandwiches. They were sturdy and didn't fall apart."
- "I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these rolls were a pleasant surprise. They were light and fluffy, and I couldn't taste the pumpkin at all."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the milk is warm, but not hot. Hot milk will kill the yeast.
- If you don't have time for the second rise, you can skip it. The rolls will still turn out fine, but they may not be as fluffy.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
