Do you watch cooking shows guys? Anything particular you like?
We are officially addicted to ‘Cutthroat Kitchen’. Has anyone seen it? It’s Alton Brown hosting the show and I love him.
Can you imagine cooking with shears?, seriously, how do they even come up with concepts like that. So many sabotages, curve balls and a lot of cash involved.
We were watching this particular show the other day and one of the chefs had to use tea lights to cook in one of the rounds. He kept a can on top of the candles and cooked pancakes on them, it was fun to watch.
Imagine baking something with no oven, ghoshhhh, that would be crazy. When we see these shows, we constantly think how we’d cook without something, or how did they cook in the very very early days without modern appliances.
I am so thankful for my oven and these fantastic and easy PUMPKIN ROLLS. Bread and carbs, I love you.:).
Here’s the fool proof dinner roll. You could substitute bread flour with whole wheat flour, and any spice you want and it comes out perfect every time. It is slightly chewy, bread like and has pepper running through the rolls, slightly spicy and oh so Good. It was all gone even before we started dinner. Here goes….
PEPPER SPICED PUMPKIN DINNER ROLLS
Makes 8-10 dinner rolls
Time 2 hours
Ingredients:
2 cup Bread flour
1 packet active dry yeast or 2 tsp
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp crushed pepper
1 tsp crushed cumin seeds
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
Method:
1. Add the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, crushed pepper and cumin seeds in a standing mixer or a cuisinart and mix it a bit until everything is combined.
2. Warm the milk to 110 degrees, add butter and mix well. Add the pumpkin puree and egg and mix everything well.
3. Pour the pumpkin mixture to the bread flour mixture and beat or mix at low speed for few minutes. Let it all come together. The dough should not be too wet or dry. DoNOT add any more flour, if it is too wet, you can add 1 to 2 tbsp of flour.
4. Put in a oiled bowl and let it rise for an hour or until doubled in volume.
5. Make 10 equal portion and roll is into a ball and put it on a baking tray 2 inches apart.
Let rise again for another hour or until doubled in volume.
6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
7. Brush some melted butter and garnish with cilantro or any herb of your choice and bake for 15-17 minutes.
ENJOY!!
Note:
If you use wheat flour or any other flour, you might want to use 2-3 tbsp more. The whole wheat flour is more a softer roll than a chewier one.
You could make this sweet by omitting the spices.

i used to like Alton Brown but within past few years, I have started to dislike him and food channel in general 🙁 Rolls look great, love the pumpkin twist 🙂
Look beautiful! I love the colour!
Never watched the show, sounds like fun! These rolls are amazing!
I love Ina Garten shows, but haven’t watched any for a long time now. TV is still out 😉
I could easily bury my sorrows in this comforting dinner rolls!!
It’s amazing what people come up with when they don’t have their own familiar equipment! I wonder how I’d survive lol. Lovely looking rolls!
I love watching food network.Yes alton brown is amazing.
Love the rolls ! love the beautiful color you got there
Wow, look at the color of that bread…
beautifull!
actually i made pumpkin steamed buns several times, but never try the baked ones…
tempting to try!
I watch Cutthroat Kitchen and I can’t believe the insanity of it. Cooking under those conditions would be next to impossible! These dinner rolls look so great, Ash! Pinning — since I’m more adventurous with yeast breads now. 🙂
This spiced version of dinner rolls sounds really good! Loved the color of the rolls..They look so good !!!
I watch Top Chef — after watching it for years, I still really enjoy it. LOVE your photos (as always!!), and those rolls look absolutely fantastic! I want one to dip in my leftover stew sauce! 🙂
Yours look just gorgeous.
Cutthroat Kitchen IS a fantastic show! Did you watch the one where the guy had to cook with these huge gloves on for one round? And the one where a lady had to use child size dished to cook the whole dish?! Insane but so entertaining!
Aha – these rolls are insanely scrumptious looking! Pumpkin in a dinner roll – BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never watched that show, I’m intrigued…
How about those rolls? I’m so gonna try them!
I am a loyal fan of pumpkins! These dinner rolls look marvelous!
They look super good ..
It’s real fun watching these kind of cooking shows that explore cooking techniques beyond our imagination. Love the clicks, great dark mood.
love the color of dinner rolls.. though I’ve never tried it, wish i could make it soon..
Thanks for sharing another way to use the pumpkin puree!!! The color is very appetiting.
Awww I love these moody food photographs.. Looks delicious.. You got a bright color of pumpkin there.. Good job asha !! I am gonna try this asap 🙂
How incredibly delicious and unique, Ash!
I’m definitely going to have to look out for that show because it sounds awesome!
And also, these pumpkin rolls might have to be on my thanskgiving menu. BIG yum.
Beautiful rolls!!! Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Your Spiced Pumpkin Dinner Rolls are gorgeous. I know they’ll be perfect for Fall and gatherings. 🙂
Killer pumpkin buns! Looks like they are made of a handful of laughter and sunshine. How did you manage to get that insanely lovely, never-seen-before golden hue on them? – Are you a magician or something?
– I believe I can bake them too, without freaking out, now that you gave me the recipe 🙂
Eye-popping pictures, as always.
Kisses.
I do watch Alton Brown but somehow don’t like him ;-).Its Nigella and Giada for me… 🙂 The dinner rolls looks delish. I just love that 2nd pic… ufff awesome pics
Wonderful post. Have a fabulous weekend
Hi Ash, these dinner rolls are awesome! Perfect for the holiday table. So creative and I’m sure delicious! Great post in time for Thanksgiving!
Mmh, such yummy dinner rolls.
The colors are pure magic and I love the spicy touch!
What delicious rolls…Suitable for a holiday feast!!!! Pinned!
The color of these rolls are crazy beautiful. I’m pretty much in awe!
Wow! Such colorful rolls! These look wonderful, and I’ll bet taste even better. Great job – thanks.
I am also thankful for my oven – I’ve lived with one on the verge of breakdown and been without electricity with all the storms in the last couple of years. I’m glad things are calm right now. I’m also thankful for carbs and rolls like these! Looks delicious.
And I love cooking shows but have to admit competition/reality type shows are my least favorite.
These rolls look amazing! Can’t wait to make them!!
These look like they have the perfect texture! No wonder they were gone before dinner even started 🙂
You improve pumpkins’ reputation even more so my friend 😀
These rolls make me drool!
Cheers

I love watching cooking shows, especially Jamie Oliver, it’s pretty cool to veganize some of his recipes, too. I’m familiar with Alton Brown’s works, but haven’t watched the show yet. I love spiced dinner rolls – looks like a easy recipe to veganize with flax eggs & perhaps coconut milk? What a great way to use pumpkin puree, also I like the bread flour a lot, I use it alot in my steamed buns & baos.
What a great idea. These look awesome. I am sure your house smelled really good while these were baking 🙂 I am pinning these for sure!!
I hardly watch any cooking shows anymore. I’m very disappointed in food network these days and the cooking channel isn’t any better.
Once in awhile there’s a good show on the public tv channels that I may watch, but I have no time really.
These pumpkin rolls look wonderful! Love the colour and the spice running through it. They’d be finished before dinner at my house too,
Unfortunately I don not have the time to watch any food shows. By the time I sit in my bed and watch the tv all these types of shows are long ended. Your pumpkin breads look absolutely perfect and well made!
Wow!
These rolls look gorgeous! Love the color!
I do agree with many on cooking shows being very dramatic and lost the touch.
I remember watching some many many years ago, and it was fresh, learnt so much, but now it’s all about comeptitions. There are so many, its not even funny anymore. But entertaining nevertheless.
A great creation! Those rolls look really tempting.
Cheers,
Rosa
I always have some sort of cooking show on in the background; I just love em! And these rolls look amazing!
Beautiful pumpkin rolls! Don’t know how I managed to miss this post of yours in my blog feed, Ash. When I last checked you hadn’t updated yet. Never watched Alton’s new program, but I am a huge fan of his…even since the very beginning when he was a bit awkward on camera. (I know, hard to imagine now as he is such a seasoned professional and a “ham” in front of the camera.) Thanks for sharing. Beautiful photography as always, my friend! xo
Yummy pumpkin rolls, beautiful photographs .. Thanks for the recipe , love to try it..!
Absolutely gorgeous rolls. Love the color and the cilantro garnish.
I love spicy bread and that show sound so interesting! I will have to check it out, as I also love Alton Brown. 🙂
The show has not reached our shore yet. Keeping my fingers crossed to watch when its shown over here.
Love what you did with the pumpkins, baked to perfection to an up-notch tempting outcome.
I don’t have any cable so watching food net work is out of question, this pumpkin dinner rolls looks delicious. Lvoe it.
We don’t have Cutthroat Kitchen in Australia but if we did, I’d watch it. Your rolls make me want to reach in and get one!
These are beautiful dinner rolls, Ash! The pumpkin flavor makes holiday meals extra special too!
What a lovely recipe! Absolutely love the colour of your dinner rolls – so visually stunning! Such a beautiful photography too. I used to like Alton Brown with his crazy experiments with food – Never watched cut throat kitchen yet.
