Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.0 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1.0 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cups sugar
  • 2.0 tsp baking powder
  • 1.0 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1.0 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.0 large egg
  • 0.25 cups milk
  • 0.5 cups cooked and crumbled bacon
  • None string fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and milk together until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and the crumbled bacon (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and shape them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm.
