2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast 1 cup warm milk (110 to 115) 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon cold water sesame or poppy seeds, optional



1 In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the butter, sugar, pumpkin, 2 eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2 Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into a 10-in rope; tie into a knot and tuck ends under. Place 2 in apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
3 In a small bowl, beat water and remaining egg. Brush over rolls. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired. Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
