Pumpkin Shaped Dinner Rolls

They are not hard to make, at all.

Ingredients
- 2 loaves of Bread Dough Frozen – I bought my dough in frozen loaves. I used white and wheat dough
- 12 Slivered Almonds for the stem
- 1 Egg White
- 2 Tbsp. water
How do you make Pumpkin Dinner Rolls?
- Follow the directions on the frozen bread dough package to thaw the dough, allowing it to rise in greased bowls
- When the dough has thawed and risen, punch it down
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a couple of minutes. Let it rest for a few minutes
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- Divide the dough by pulling off sections, and rolling them into balls
- Place the dough balls onto a lightly greased baking sheet – placing dough balls a couple of inches apart
- Flatten them into the shape of a disk
- Take kitchen scissors, and cut slits all around the disks, about 1/2 inch apart
- Mix egg white and water
- Brush each roll with the egg white mixture
- Place a long slivered almond in the top center of the pumpkin disk
- Put rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet
- Bake for about 15 minutes
