Preparation

  1. Using an electric mixer, fitted with a dough hook attachment, stir in milk, pumpkin, sugar, yeast, butter, 1 Eggland's Best egg, and salt until well combined/mixed.
  2. Gradually begin to add the flour. Knead on medium-low speed until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, cleanly. Stop the mixer, and let the dough sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Turn on the electric mixer again, and being to knead the dough on medium-low speed for another 5 minutes, or until the dough is soft and smooth. Add more flour if the dough feels too sticky! Do this in 1 tablespoon increments at a time, if needed.
  4. Grease a large bowl, and transfer your dough mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & wait about 45 minutes to 1 hour- the dough should double in size.
  5. While the dough is rising, cut your kitchen string into 4 dozen 10-inch pieces. Place strings in a small bowl, and coat with olive oil to prevent sticking to the dough when baking.
  6. Remove dough from the bowl, and cut the dough into 12 wedges. Roll each wedge into a ball.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  8. Using your 4 strands of your greased string, crisscross the strings over a center point to form a star formation. This will almost look like a sliced pie or pizza. Take 1 dough ball, and place it in the center of the crisscrossed string. Grab each eng of the string and tightly tie each piece of string into a knot over the center of the roll. If there is extra string, snip off the excess.
  9. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  10. Cover dough balls again, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Crack open your remaining Eggland's Best eggs, and add 2 tsp. of water. Beat the mixture and brush all over the top of the rolls.
  12. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Gently remove the string from each roll.
  13. OPTIONAL: carefully cut a small hole in the top of each roll. Place a sliced pecan piece into the hole of each roll. to create a "pumpkin stem"
