This is a five star bread. Taste is great, bread-life is very long and can be served several ways. I too ended up modifying the recipe. I used the brown sugar 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/3 cup of barley flour. I still used more than 8 cups of bread flour. Next time I'll add a 1/4c of gluten whey with the yeast just to exaggerate the rise and go 50/50 brown sugar and date sugar. I used a Breville 800XL oven 375/30 mins with a stainless shot glass full of boiling water to create steam pressure. I posted a picture here of the bread in two forms: Half the dough I used for Dinner rolls made on a round stone...came out very nice - Perfect for those Bison breakfast sausages I picked up from Buffalogal.com. The second half of the dough was put into the fridge for two days and then left to stand covered in the kitchen for two hours before going into pans - one cast iron, the other porcelain: both filmed in grape-seed oil. The cast iron won again but by the smallest of margins. I'm going to try the one loaf for french toast and the other for flavored melted frosting I've been pondering. You know, you could roll the dough out flat and turn it into a pecan roll. Wow.

Great recipe, makes a soft fluffy bread. Looking forward to making these as rolls for thanksgiving. I used acorn squash instead of butternut, any mashed veggie would probably work.

I made this today and it is so good. The recipe made 1 extra large and 1 regular loaf. It is so easy to make and my husband was so impressed when he came home and saw it that he had to take a photo!!!

Yum! I didn't really make any changes, other than my usual method of tossing this in the bread machine to make the dough (part laziness, part having other things to do). I had cubed, frozen butternut squash leftover from a trip to Costco last year and thought I'd better use it up. So, I boiled it until soft then pureed it in the food processer. A perfect amount for this bread--it equaled 1 1/4 cups. :o) I thought this had a nice flavor, although the crumb is a tad dry, but otherwise was good. Bf thought it was weird but he's not a fan of butternut squash, although I didn't really think the flavor was prominent. It's a nice bread to go with soup, which is how we ate it tonight. Thanks for the recipe!

I have halved the recipe and made the dough in the bread machine. It always turns out and tastes wonderful.

Wonderful! I used all whole grain flour and added 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten. I also used honey in place of the sugar and cut the milk to 3/4 cup. Also I made two loaves instead of three - one I baked plain, the other I kneaded n cinnamon, ground cloves and 1/2 cup raisins. Nice high and fluffy loaves! Hubby adores it!

I just made this to serve alongside some homemade stew and it turned out awesome! I made 2 loaves and 6 large buns with this recipe and the buns were finished off in this one sitting. They were so moist and light and fluffy
