Buttercup Squash Bread

INGREDIENTS
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 1
1/2 cup warm (not hot) water 125 mL
2 tbsp molasses 30 mL
1 tsp salt 5 mL
1/2 tsp caraway seeds 2 mL
1 cup mashed, cooked Butternut Squash 250 mL
3 cups all-purpose flour 750 mL

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add molasses, salt, caraway, squash and 2 cups flour; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; turn onto a floured surface and shape into a loaf. Place loaf in a greased 9”x 5”x 3”(22.9 cm x 12.7 cm x 7.6 cm) loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 400° F (200° C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.

Makes: 1 loaf
