Cheddar/Squash Cloverleaf Rolls

My rolls started out as a basic bread recipe, and I adapted it to our tastes. They’re perfect with a meal anytime, especially in fall. Although our son-in-law (we have two grown kids) can’t stand squash, he loves these! —DeDe Waldmann, Monona, Wisconsin

  • Total Time
    Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
  • Makes
    2 dozen

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed cooked winter squash
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Sesame seeds, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir gently. Let stand until light and foamy. Stir in milk, 3 tablespoons butter, salt, squash and cheese. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until the dough is no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, lightly grease 24 muffin cups. Punch down dough. Break off small portions and roll into 1-in. balls. Put 3 balls into each cup. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Brush tops of rolls with remaining butter; sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375° for 16-18 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

    I have made this many times. I microwave winter squash until soft and use this plus very sharp, good cheddar. The rolls are a beautiful color. They freeze and reheat well.

    Used frozen&thawed pumpkin puree from our pumpkins, a mixed blend of shredded cheeses, and half whole wheat flour. Cooked for 28 minutes as pan rolls in a 9x13 glass pan. Turned out nicely, but were much better warm than cold.
