Pumpkin Chocolate Rolls

I got a whole pumpkin at home. I was thinking about baking bread with pumpkin. But I didn't want make just a pumpkin loaf. I wanted to make fancy one.

I made them double knot shape. Here, I got some, how to shape rolls.

You can choose whatever you like.

I made pumpkin sweet dough, then folded the chocolate sheet.

The chocolate sheet is made from flour, corn starch, egg white, chocolate and so on. It is quite easy to make. I made it the day before baking. Put it in the fridge, and rest it there.

It looks really nice. The rolls got yellow orange and chocolate brown marble color.  

Pumpkin contains water, so you need control liquid on the dough making. It might be more or less.  

These are sweet rolls. They could be good at breakfast or tea time.

I got how to make chocolate sheet, here. But This time, I made it without microwave. I used gas stove.
