2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 TSPs salt
1/4 TSP ground nutmeg
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup honey
1 package (12 ounces) frozen mashed winter squash, thawed (about 1-1/3 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Poppy seeds, salted pumpkin seeds or pepitas, or sesame seeds
In a large bowl, mix yeast, salt, nutmeg and 3 cups flour.
In a small saucepan, heat milk, butter and honey to 120 degrees -130 degrees.
Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes.
Add squash; beat on high 2 minutes.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls.
Divide between 2 greased 9" cast-iron skillets or round baking pans.
Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brush tops with beaten egg; sprinkle with seeds.
Bake until dark golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
Cover loosely with foil during the last 5-7 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning.
Remove from pans to wire racks; serve warm.
