4 -5 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine milk with yeast, sugar, and salt. Let stand 5 minutes, then add egg and beat well to combine.
  • Add squash and shortening; mash with a fork until shortening is in small pieces. Add 11/2 cups flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. Gradually mix in more flour by the cupful until dough collects around spoon and pulls away from sides of bowl (you may not need all the flour).

  • Roast the squash until it is fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Use a variety of fillings for your squash rolls, such as cooked ground beef, turkey, chicken, or vegetables.
  • Top the squash rolls with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, Alfredo, or pesto.
