Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure to handle the dough as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
  • Roll out the dough evenly and make sure it is not too thick or thin. If the dough is too thick, the rolls will be dense and undercooked. If the dough is too thin, the rolls will be dry and crumbly.
  • Place the squash filling in the center of each dough circle and fold the edges up to form a cloverleaf shape. Make sure to seal the edges well so that the filling does not leak out.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the rolls.
  • Serve the rolls warm with your favorite soup or salad.

Conclusion:

Squash cloverleaf rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their flaky crust and savory filling, these rolls are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
