"These soft, yeasty, doughy rolls are irresistible. Even better, the recipe is very forgiving. You can even use frozen squash or baby food squash puree. And you can make the dough the day before, and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight."

Soft tender buns! I made in the bread machine using 4 cups flour, rapid rise yeast, butter was my choice of fat, and pureed butternut squash. I shaped the dough into 24 buns when the dough cycle on the bread machine was done. Then let rise for 20 minutes on a greased cookie sheet pan. baked and then brushes with butter. A great way to get beta-carotene into the family. Thanks!
