Delight in soft, fluffy vegan dinner rolls infused with pumpkin flavor, perfect for cozy gatherings or holiday tables.

3 1/2 cups all-purpose plain flour (or bread flour plus extra for dusting) (spooned and leveled)
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade) (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup dairy-free milk (warm)
1/2 cup vegan butter (softened)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (coconut sugar or maple syrup, to taste)
2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast (or yeast of choice)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Pinch salt (if using unsalted vegan butter)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or any light-colored liquid sweetener)
1 tablespoon melted vegan butter (oil or water)

Mix warm dairy-free milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of maple syrup; let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Combine pumpkin puree, softened vegan butter, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the yeast mixture to the pumpkin mixture, then gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough briefly, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces, shape into rolls, and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted vegan butter before serving.

For best results, ensure the dough is kneaded well and allowed to rise properly for fluffy rolls.
