Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. 1. Activate the yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and brown sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. 2. Create the dough: Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. 3. Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. 4. Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. 5. Shape the knots: Punch down the dough, divide into small pieces, roll each into an 8-inch rope, then tie into knots.
  6. 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange knots on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Keywords: For richer flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Brush knots with melted butter before baking for a beautiful finish. Experiment by adding nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
