We’ve got another pumpkin recipe for you! I served these rolls as part of our Thanksgiving dinner, and they were a nice complement to the Vegetable Wellingtons that we posted last week. If you are like me and can’t seem to get enough pumpkin—whether in savory or sweet dishes—give these rolls a try!
Cranberry Pumpkin Walnut Rolls
This recipe is a no-knead recipe that I got from the Kitchn. I’ve made the dough into a single loaf before, but had some trouble with the loaf being too well done on the outside and doughy in the center. To remedy this issue, I decided to try making the dough into rolls. I followed these directions pretty closely, except I substituted spelt flour for half of the all-purpose flour that is called for in the recipe. I also divided the dough into about 12-15 equal sized pieces and formed mini-loaves (or rolls) from them. I baked the rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet at 450° for about 20 minutes or so. The rolls should be golden brown and sound hollow when you tap on the bottom.

I love the combination of pumpkin and cranberries, and these rolls were delicious when toasted and spread with a little butter. |

This is a no-knead bread recipe, which takes some of the work out of breadmaking, but it still takes some time to put together the dough and to form it into rolls. |

I used half whole wheat flour for these rolls, and they do not contain any oil and only have a little bit of sugar |

All of the ingredients were organic, but not local. |
I bring some soup over and let’s have lunch together! Love these gorgeous pumpkin rolls.
Have a great week ahead, Sally.
What a great addition to a holiday table! With the walnuts and cranberries, I would probably have a few of these with an unhealthy slab of butter for my dessert!
Headed over to The Kitchn to check out the recipe!

Now that Christmas is on its way these rolls are perfect to complement our festive table. In Greece we serve the turkey on Christmas Day!
