AUTUMN BUTTERNUT SQUASH BREAD

This is a great, moist spice bread I made to use up some of my leftover plain roasted squash(but you could use any squash puree) You could also add apple chunks, or raisins in place of nuts. I don't like breads really sweet, so add another 1/2 C sugar if you do.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with no soft spots or blemishes. A ripe butternut squash will have a deep orange color.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using it in the bread: Roasting the squash intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to mash. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. The all-purpose flour provides structure to the bread, while the whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and makes the bread more nutritious.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Autumn Spiced Butternut Squash Bread is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for fall. It is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a crispy crust. The bread is also packed with nutrients, thanks to the butternut squash and whole wheat flour. Enjoy this bread as a snack, a side dish, or a dessert.
