Butternut Squash Bread Hi Julie

[Guest guest]

OK get your chain-saw out.LOL

Actually take the squash and get a sharp butcher knife and cut it in half

widthwise and then cut those two pieces in half again widthwide. Now cut those

pieces in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds from the bottom two parts.

Place squash in the steamer (pulp side down and you can layer it) and steam

until soft. The inner pulp will scoop out of the skin when done. Do not try to

peel this squash raw. It is way too hard plus there's some type of a sap that

gets on your hands and doesn't feel comfortable, feels like your hands have aged

30 yrs. Are you going to make this bread? It's so good and so is the sweet

potato bread, it's not like pumpkin, it's better! Donna

I bought my squash, now how do I prepare it? Do I cook it first, then peel it

or the other way around? They are hard as watermelons!

thanks,

Believe me this is very good, kind of a cross between pumpkin bread and my

sweet potato bread recipe I posted previously. No one believes it's squash and

it makes 2 loaves. One for you and one to give to a friend.

 

 

Butternut Squash Bread

 

2 cups mashed cooked butternut squash (I cut in large chunks and steam)

1 cup canola oil

2 cups sugar

3 eggs beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

3 cups flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

* optional 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease two 8 1/2X4 loaf pans.

In large mixing bowl combine, squash, eggs, sugar, vanilla and oil, and

blend.

In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients (except walnuts) and add

to the wet ingredients.

Stir until just combined.

Fold in nuts.

Pour into prepared pans and bake until toothpick inserted comes out

clean. 60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack. Remove from pans

and continue cooling on wire rack.
