-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 butternut squash -- peeled, seeded and cubed
1 package active dry yeast -- (.25 oz)
2 tablespoons warm water -- (110F/45C)
1/3 cup warm milk -- (110 F/45C)
1/4 cup butter -- softened
1 egg
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Original recipe makes 2 braided loaves
In a large saucepan, cover peeled and chopped squash with water.
Bring water to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 min. Let
cool and mash. Reserve 1C for use in this recipe and freeze remainder
for later use
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until
creamy, about 10 min.
In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with milk, butter, 1C
mashed squash, 1 egg, brown sugar, salt and 2C flour; stir well to
combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2C at a time, beating well
after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out
onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic,
about 8 min. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl
and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a
warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a rope about 18" long.
Take 3 ropes, pinch ends together and then braid ropes together.
Pinch ends to seal. Do the same with the other 3 ropes of dough.
Place braids on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for
about 30 min. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (175C)
In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1T water; brush loaves with
egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 min. Remove from baking
sheets and let cool on a wire rack.
