It has been a while since I last used my “ancient” bread machine. Two days ago I decided to pull it out of storage to see if it still works. Since it was close to the Thanksgiving holidays, I decided to make my favorite holiday Cranberry Walnut Rolls. To my pleasant surprise the bread machine started mixing and kneading just like before. Slightly over 3 hours later, I had some beautiful fragrant rolls for tea time. There was snow outside but it was warm and cozy inside. Together with the aroma of baking it felt festive.

More Dinner Rolls

I had prep some of the side dishes the day before Thanksgiving and so it was supposed to be a more leisurely day for me. I planned on making a pie, roasting the turkey, and putting the finishing touches to my side dishes. Out of the blue, I decided to make these Pumpkin Dinner Rolls I had seen many times on the internet but never got round to making. Why not? I have all the ingredients and everything was under control. I guess bread making can be addictive. One thing is for sure. The aroma of fresh bread is to die for!

To Add or Not to Add More Flour

I did not lookup any specific recipe on the internet but simply modified my Cranberry Walnut Rolls recipe. I started with 2½ cups of bread flour to compensate for the extra moisture in the pumpkin puree. Maybe I should have left it at that. The dough was a little sticky in the bread machine and so I added another ¼ cup of bread flour. The dough became more manageable. If not, my guess is the rolls will probably be softer. So, it is up to you. If you want softer rolls, please go with 2½ cups instead of 2¾ cups of bread flour.

Proofing Mode in My New Oven

The thing about making bread winter in the winter is proofing the dough. It can take a much longer time because of the cold weather unless you crank up the thermostat. I am thankful for the “Proof” mode in my new oven which makes it so much easier. I simply turn on the oven in “Proof” mode (at 100°F/38°C) and place the rolls in there for an hour for the second proofing after shaping the rolls. If it is winter where you live and you do not have a “Proof” mode in your oven, please follow the instructions in the recipe below.

It was quite fun making these rolls and I was pleased with how they turned out. As such, I chose 6 of the best looking ones to give to my neighbor who had company over for Thanksgiving. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did.
