• Add in flour gradually and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. The dough will be sticky.
• If using electric mixer, attach a dough hook and beat the mixture until the dough itself pulls from the side of the bowl.
• Turn the dough out to a wooden board dusted with a little flour. Knead with hand for 1 minute. Form the dough into a ball shape, place in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, about 1 hours.
• Punch the dough to deflate and knead it for a few seconds on a wooden board. Cut the dough in half. Cut each half into about 15 pieces.
• Roll each piece into a ball shape with your hand. Flatten the piece with palm of your hand a little. Using a knife, give 8 cuts on the edge to mimic flower pedals but the leave center uncut.
• Poke the center with your finger to give a deep indentation, and repeat the same procedure to all the other pieces.
• Place them, 2" apart, on a baking pan lined with parchment paper or baking mat, and let them rise again to be doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven 350ºF for 20 minutes.
• If the center indentation is not obvious on the rolls, poke them again with your finger.
• Brush with egg wash, if you wish, and bake for 9-12 minutes until the top gets slightly golden.
• Brush the rolls with melted butter or a little honey diluted with water to make it shine if you wish.
• Insert pecan slices on top to mimic pumpkin stem.

PINWHEEL DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Generously grease an 8" square baking pan with butter.
• If you have a Kitchen-Aid (or similar) mixer with a dough hook or the paddle (not the wire wisk), use it. If not, get a big ol' bowl and do it the way your grandma did.
• In a large bowl (or mixer bowl), combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter or margarine until crumbly. If using a mixer, be careful not to overmix.
• Add 1 cup cold milk, all at once.
• Stir just enough to combine the ingredients into a dough.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board. I use my countertop for this.
• Knead dough 8 times. Do not overknead.
• Work dough out into a rectangle about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Trim off any odd bits and use them to fill in any missing sections. You want to have a fairly good rectangle shape so you can get 12 good rolls out of it.
• Slather the top of that dough rectangle with the softened butter. Cake it on there. Oh yes. If 1/4 cup doesn't look like enough, get more.
• Roll up as you would a jelly roll. At this point, if you roll it around a bit, you can carefully roll it to grow a bit longer if you feel it necessary.
• Cut the dough "snake" in half. Cut each of the halves in half. Cut each of those quarters into three pieces. You should end up with 12 equal pieces.
• Place the 12 pieces into the greased 8" square pan. I stagger them in four rows of three, in a "honeycomb" pattern. Don't worry about the dough not touching every bit of pan, they will rise in the oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
