Prepare Twine

To make Pumpkin Shaped Dinner rolls
- In a mixing bowl, add water, yeast and sugar. Whisk them well. Add flour, pumpkin spice, salt, pumpkin puree, egg, and butter to the mixture. Knead into a dough on medium speed with a stand mixer.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 minutes and an hour.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, gently punch out the air. Then, place it on a floured work surface and dust some flour over it.
- Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll them into balls.
- Now, place the prepared twine so that it interacts with each other and is shaped like an 8-sided star. Place the dough ball over the twine intersection and tie the ends of each twine to form a pumpkin shape. Cut off excess twine.
- Repeat with all balls to shape into a pumpkin. Place the prepared balls over a parchment-laid baking sheet.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise for a second time for 30 minutes. Brush them with a mixture of egg and water. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Bake them at 350℉ for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Cut the twines with a scissors.
- Brush them with butter and place cloves on the pumpkin. Serve.
