Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups cubed winter squash
water to cover
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
5 cups white whole wheat flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
½ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put squash in a saucepan and pour in enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain water from saucepan, cool squash, and mash using a potato masher or fork.
  • Pour warm water into a bowl and sprinkle in yeast. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

  • Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Roll dough into a 16x21-inch rectangle. Spread 1/3 cup butter over the top of dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and sprinkle over butter layer. Roll dough around filling and cut into 12 to 15 rolls. Place rolls in the prepared baking dish and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth; spread onto warm rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the butternut squash properly: Roasting the butternut squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make sure the mashed butternut squash is smooth: For the best results, use a food processor or blender to puree the roasted butternut squash until it is smooth and creamy. You can also mash the squash by hand, but make sure there are no lumps.
  • Use a stand mixer or bread machine to knead the dough: Kneading the dough is an important step in making bread rolls. It helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. If you don't have a stand mixer or bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: After you've kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will help the rolls to rise.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: Baking the rolls at a high temperature will help them to brown and develop a crispy crust. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the rolls.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or simply served with butter and jam. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these rolls at home. So next time you're looking for a new bread recipe to try, give these butternut squash rolls a try!
