Number of Servings: 40

Ingredients

Rolls:

Pumpkin, canned, without salt, 1 cup

Egg, fresh, 2 large

Water, tap, .125 cup

Butter, unsalted, .25 cup

Flour, white, 2.5 cup

Flour, whole grain, 1.75 cup

Cinnamon, ground, 1 tbsp

Ginger, ground, 1 tbsp

Cloves, ground, 1 tbsp

Salt, 1 tsp

Brown Sugar, 9 tsp packed

*active dry yeast, 2 tsp

Filling:

Applesauce, unsweetened, 1 cup

Brown Sugar, 3 tsp packed

Cinnamon, ground, 1 tbsp

Butter, unsalted, 1 tbsp

Topping

Butter, unsalted, 1 tbsp

Honey, 1 tbsp

Directions

Using a bread maker:
Place rolls ingredients in breadmaker per breadmaker directions (ie: liquids, butter/oil, then solids). Start dough cycle.

Manual:
Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients together — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — until you've made a soft, fairly smooth dough.

***
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours, until it's almost doubled in bulk.

In a small saucepan, combine applesauce, cinnamon & butter for filling. Heat to melt butter. The sugar will be sprinkled on later or can be added to this mixture.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a thin rectangle rectangle.

Spread the topping mixture evening over the dough.

Starting with the short end that's covered with filling, roll the dough into a log.

Cut the log into thin rolls.

Place the rolls into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan (I used 2 pans). Set aside, covered, to rise for 1 hour, or until the rolls look puffy.

Bake the rolls in a preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're lightly browned and feel set. Remove them from the oven, and set them on a rack. Turn them out of the pan, and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.

Topping mix butter & honey and microwave until butter is melted. Stir until mixed and using a brush, brush the tops of the buns with this mixture.
