Ingredients
  

  • 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls or 12 Rhodes Texas Rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 12 Pecan pieces
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Plastic wrap
  • Kitchen shears or sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon

Instructions
 

  • Thaw the frozen dough balls in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight (but no longer or they may start to expand).
  • Prepare a cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Press each ball of dough into a flat ball.
  • Cut 5 or 6 slits around the outside of each circle with kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Lay the cut dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet leaving 2-3 inches between (you may need a second sheet pan).
  • Poke a deep hole with the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of each roll.
  • Spray pieces of plastic wrap with nonstick spray. Cover the rolls with the sprayed side down.
  • Let the dough sit at room temperature until it doubles in size. The time will vary between 1 and 5 hours, depending how warm the room is.
  • Carefully remove the plastic wrap, and re-poke the hole into the middle of each roll.
  • Bake the pumpkin rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.
  • Insert a pecan piece into the hole to make a pumpkin stem.
