Squash Pan Rolls Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 15 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided
1 teaspoon plus 3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup warm mashed cooked butternut squash (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the squash, milk powder, oil, salt, 2 cups flour and remaining water and sugar; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Turn dough 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. Roll to 1-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20 -25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Brush with butter. Yield: 15 rolls.
