Soft Pumpkin Pull Apart Rolls with Sage Butter are golden, fluffy, and lightly sweetened rolls made with pumpkin puree and finished with aromatic sage butter. Perfect for autumn dinners, holiday feasts, or cozy meals, they’re festive, comforting, and ideal for sharing.

Ingredients

For the Rolls:

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 45°C)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg

For the Sage Butter:

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit 5 minutes until foamy. Whisk in pumpkin puree, melted butter, honey, salt, and egg.
  2. Gradually add flour until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour, or until doubled.
  3. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls and arrange in a greased baking dish close together. Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls 20–22 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan. Stir in chopped sage and let sizzle 1–2 minutes. Brush warm rolls generously with sage butter before serving.

Notes

Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after brushing with sage butter for extra flavor.

Add garlic to the sage butter for a savory twist.

Use maple syrup instead of honey for stronger autumn sweetness.

Shape into a braided loaf instead of rolls for a rustic centerpiece.
