How To Make squash rolls

  • 1
    Scald the milk (heat until bubbles form on the top - do not boil)
  • 2
    Dissolve 1 package of yeast in 1/2 cup of warm (not hot) water
  • 3
    In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup squash or pumpkin, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup of butter.
  • 4
    Add Scalded milk and mix
  • 5
    When mixture is lukewarm, add the beaten egg and dissolved yeast.
  • 6
    Slowly mix the flour into the mixture, until you have the righ consistency. Not too wet nor too dry.....if that helps.
  • 7
    Cover the bowl with a dish towel and put in draft free place to rise. Dough will double in size when risen. This takes around an hour...more or less.
  • 8
    Punch dough down and roll out into a circle on a pastry sheet or counter top that has been sprinkled with flour to eliminate sticking.
  • 9
    Cut into triangles with a pizza cutter if you have one. Otherwise use a knife.
  • 10
    Roll the triangles into rolls, place on a baking sheet, cover with a dish towel and let rise again. This will probably take 30 minutes.
  • 11
    Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until rolls are lightly brown on the top. Serve and enjoy!
