directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine squash, milk, margarine, egg, brown sugar and salt and mix them well.
  • Add yeast mixture to squash mixture along with 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix well and add enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, around 6-8 minutes.
  • Coat a large bowl with oil, add the dough and turn it to coat with oil. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until dough doubles, around 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough. Divide dough into thirds and roll each third into an 18 inch rope. On a greased baking sheet, braid the three ropes together. Pinch ends, cover and let the dough rise until it is almost doubled, around 30 minutes.
  • Combine beaten egg and water to make a glaze. Brush the glaze over the dough. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
