Though I knew I could chomp my way through the leftover butternut squash mash in the time it takes most people to tie their shoes, I loved the taste too much to see it just disappear in a matter of minutes, leaving me squash-less for the rest of the week.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup spicy butternut squash mash (mine is spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne pepper [a must for this recipe], seasoned, and finished with a healthy smack of butter [about 2 T.]... however you do it though, make sure it has an ample amount of the flavors you want in your finished bread) shopping list
- 1 cup dark brown sugar shopping list
- 1 stick room temperature butter shopping list
- 3 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten shopping list
- 4 cups AP flour shopping list
- 2 T. baking powder shopping list
- additional salt &/or spices (optional, but heavily dependent on how heavily spiced your mash is [mine's heavily spiced so i skip this... if your batter's bland, spice it up!]) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Prep 2 medium loaf pans (my new ones are 8.5" x 4.5", teflon, but the first time, I covered a big casserole with buttered wax paper)
- Mix together squash mash, brown sugar, butter, and eggs
- Sift together flour and baking soda
- Add 3/4 of the flour mixture to the squash mixture and mix, adding more flour as necessary until the batter is firm
- Pour batter into pans, spreading evenly
- Place in oven until well browned and a skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean
- Remove from over, let cool for 10 mins, then turn out of pans to continue cooling on rack
- Thanks to Bernard Clayton's Bread Book for the inspiration for this recipe
