Spice up your babka with some pumpkin spice and make all your fall dreams come true

Ingredients

12 Rhodes White Dinner Rolls, dough thawed to room temperature
4 Tbsp butter, softened

¼ Cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Combine rolls and roll out on a sprayed surface to a 18×10 inch rectangle. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rest.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and cream together with a fork to get out all the lumps.

      Once the dough is thawed you cannot refreeze it or the yeast will be damaged. Try assembling and baking and then freezing and rewarming when you want to serve it. Hope that helps you.

    COULD THIS BE MADE WITH SOMETHING LIKE SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP? I’m looking for something that has twisted dough on the sides and bottom of the pan and dip in the center, like a large bread bowl.

      It is best not to put the rolls in the freezer door. You could divide the dough into the 5 loaves and bake it as the package directs. Or our Dinner Rolls are 1.3 ounces or 38 grams. Our larger rolls are 2 ounces or 51 grams. Hope that helps!

    I don’t have the frozen dinner rolls, but I do have loaves. How many loaves should i use, 2?.

      One loaf of our Bread Dough will make 12 Dinner-size rolls or 8 larger Texas-size rolls. So, you would need 1 loaf to make this recipe.

    I was thinking about adding some cream cheese to the recipe to make it a little more of a pumpkin cream cheese filling. Do you think that would work and if so is there any kind of alterations I should apply to the recipe?

      We have not tried this and it would be difficult to tell you about adding anything to the recipe. You could certainly try it and let us know how it turns out. We would love to hear how it turns out.
