AUTUMN SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl until fluffy. Stir butternut squash, eggs, and water into sugar mixture.
• Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in another bowl; stir into sugar mixture. Add nuts and raisins; stir until batter is just blended. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Add buttermilk, honey, molasses and egg to the bread machine.
• In a separate container mix the butternut (or some other Winter squash, pumpkin is great too) with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Trust me. It gives the bread a richer flavor.
• Add the butternut mixture to the rest of the wet stuff.
• Add the all flour except about one cup to the bowl and start the bread machine on the dough only setting. Let it start mixing. Watch it to make sure it all mixes inches Let it mix for about ten minutes and then turn it off.
• I use fresh milled grain, which requires an autolysing time to process. If you are using whole wheat purchased from the store, you can skip the next step.
• Remove the dough and refrigerate for 8-24 hours (you can leave it in the bowl). This will give it time for the whole grain to break down so it will be easier to digest. Trust me, it is worth it. There is NO comparison to fresh milled whole grain bread.
• When ready to make the bread, put it back into the bread maker, add the last cup of wheat and the yeast, let it run in the dough cycle.
• Remove from the pan and shape into two loaves, or into 24 rolls.
• Allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• After the second rise, bake for 30 minutes at 350.
