recipe reviews for:

Squash Braid

“THIS should be called 'You Can't Have Just One Slice Bread.' My friend gave me this recipe when I first started making bread. It's golden on the outside and the inside - beautiful and colorful besides being so delicious. I love to bake it in the fall. It blends in with every menu that includes the produce of that season. -Amy Martin, Waddell, Arizona”

Note: this review is based on my changes, not the original recipe. I substituted canned pumpkin for the butternut squash because it's what I had and used 2 cups of whole wheat flour and just under 1 cup of white. (It didn't seem to need anymore flour than that.) The result just ok, in my opinion. Light and soft, yes. But fairly bland. Maybe butternut is more flavorful than pumpkin? I'd add a bit more sugar and some spices next time (cinnamon and nutmeg, maybe.)

Excellent recipe! We had leftover mashed sweet potatoes to use up so I made substituted sweet potato for the squash. Soft inside and beautiful color and presentation. Tasted great with the sweeter flavor of the "Slow-Cooked Habanero Chili"! I would like to try this recipe again but instead of braiding it, make rolls.

Whole family loved this, and my five year old must have eaten half the loaf herself. It was also beautiful! Will make again.

This bread was great when I baked it two days ago, and it is still great! I followed the recipe, but had to add a lot more flour to get the dough to a kneadable consistency. It was really beautiful and soft, but I felt like it needed some more salt, so I will probably triple that amount next time.

Really good. You can't taste the squash in it, but it has a nice, slightly sweet flavor. I'll be making this again.

This was soooo good. I found myself eating it even after I was stuffed from the Moroccan Stew I served it with! I just smeared it with some plain butter but I think a brown sugar cinnamon butter would be DE-licious with it as well. The only thing I forgot with this was the glaze but I honestly don't think it needed it (beyond an aesthetic quality). As I have about 4 cups leftover of some mashed butternut squash I will probably definitely be making this again. Yummy!!
