Orange Pumpkin CloverleafsRomulo Yanes

Classic shape plus not-so-classic flavors gives these rolls an element of surprise. Thats not to say the wintry blend of pumpkin and orange is overpowering; its actually very subtle, so the rolls go with just about anything you put on the dinner table. Leftovers would be awfully good slathered with butter and toasted for breakfast.

Cooks' note:

Rolls are best the day theyre made but can be frozen (cool completely, then wrap well) 1 month. Thaw, then reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.
