Finally getting a little winter weather around here has me in the kitchen baking. Tramp 1 is not too fond of winter squash but I like to sneak it in where I can since it has so much high power nutrition. These rolls are just the thing - who can resist freshly baked rolls?! He took them for lunch today stuffed with smoky pulled pork goodness. Give this recipe a try - it is a keeper.Winter Squash Rolls
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
1 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup warm fat free milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
1 cup mashed, cooked winter squash
1/3 cup butter or stick margarine, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes Stir in the milk, squash, butter, brown sugar and salt. Add whole wheat flour. beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; divide into 20 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray. With a sharp knife, make shallow slashes on top of rolls. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees F for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
What I did –
I mixed the yeast following the directions. While it sat I dumped all the other ingredients into the container of my bread machine, then I added the yeast mixture and used the dough cycle. When it was done I again followed the directions in step 3. Don’t try to crowd these rolls onto one big pan – I did and it kept them from browning all the sides. Next time I will definitely use two pans.

I have to say that after your comment on my blog, I had to come see if I could find a photo of your wood cookstove. Alas I could not. The rolls look fantastic however, so I'll take the recipe as a consolation prize. :)
They look delicious. I am a big fan of squash. Can't wait to give these a try.
Hugs to Chucky!
An interesting use of squash. I'll keep it in mind, but don't do much bread baking except up at the cabin. - Margy
Wow, how good does this look? YUM! I think I'm going to print this and give it to 2nd Man and say "hey, make this!" ha. Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my those look yummy! I sometimes miss my old life where I had time to bake!
We had a good winter squash (red kuri) harvest this year, too. And also like you, my husband is not crazy about plain squash on his plate as a vegetable. I put mashed leftover squash in with mashed potatoes and he likes that. But I am going to try your squash rolls and I have a feeling he'll like them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Today I'm making these for the second time in one week! Delicious! Thank you for sharing.
So glad that you are enjoying them, Christina!
I'm still making and enjoying these!
