Butternut Squash Bread Recipe


Butternut Squash Bread Recipe
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 ... More

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)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 stick room temperature butter
  • 3 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 4 cups AP flour
  • 2 T. baking powder
  • 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!])

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350º
  2. 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)
  3. Mix together squash mash, brown sugar, butter, and eggs
  4. Sift together flour and baking soda
  5. Add 3/4 of the flour mixture to the squash mixture and mix, adding more flour as necessary until the batter is firm
  6. Pour batter into pans, spreading evenly
  7. Place in oven until well browned and a skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean
  8. Remove from over, let cool for 10 mins, then turn out of pans to continue cooling on rack
  9. Thanks to Bernard Clayton's Bread Book for the inspiration for this recipe

This really sounds awesome! Bookmarked


I'm assuming i should cook the squash to make the mash? About how long does it take to bake?

Looks delicious!!!


Yep, definitely bake the squash. I halve mine length-wise, season however you like (I like salt, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon), rub lightly but evenly with oil, then bake for about 1 hour in a 450ºF oven or until nice and soft. Then cool, scoop and mash.


YUM! YUM!! :o)
