These light rolls have a beautiful color to them. They taste fabulous anytime but are especially perfect in the fall. We first found this recipe when I was growing up in a Taste of Home magazine. I hadn’t made them for years, but recently dug out the recipe. Yum. So I made them again the next time we had company. Not only are they tasty they also become a topic of conversation because of the rich color.
This recipes makes 24-30 rolls and can easily be cut in half.

These looks amazing! I’m a bread freak, and I’m also a pumpkin freak so I’m pretty sure I would love these!
I love bread too!!! Warm yeasty goodness is one of the best things. (And I agree, pumpkin is incredible too!)

Aww man I wish I would found this recipe a few days ago!
Ha ha, we’ll they’d be a fun addition to a Christmas dinner or to go along with soup for one of these colder days. 🙂
