Yields12 rolls
Servings12 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 package of Sweet Hawaiian Rolls, 12 rolls
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, more to taste
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, to cook the French toast
  • powdered sugar
  • maple syrup
  • berries optional
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions 

  1. To a bowl, make the custard for dipping the bread in. Combine half and half, eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Whisk really well until completely smooth and homogenous.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add a little bit of butter. If the pan is too hot, the butter will burn so make sure it's not too high.
  3. Dip each Hawaiian Roll in the custard quickly and place on the pan. Repeat with a few more until the pan is full but not crowded.
  4. Cook for about 2 minutes, then turn each one over and repeat so every side of the roll gets golden brown and crispy. Take off the pan and repeat with the rest of the Hawaiian Rolls.
  5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top. Optional, serve with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice to enjoy!
