1 tablespoon instant yeast
½ cup warm milk
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup whole wheat flour
2½ cups all purpose flour

Filling

5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried sage
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup parmesan cheese grated
½ cup mozzarella cheese grated

Instructions

Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large mixing bowl. Stir in honey, melted butter, salt, pumpkin, and whole wheat flour. Add all purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 4 to 5 minutes until dough is elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together the melted butter, Italian seasoning, sage, and garlic powder
Punch down the dough and then roll into an 18 inch x 18 inch square. Spread the melted butter mixture onto the dough. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Fold the dough in thirds and cut crosswise into 24 strips. Twist each strip one and a half times. Lay them out on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let rise for 20 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.

Notes

The recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour. Depending on how your dough comes together you may not need all of it. Add it gradually until a soft dough forms.
