Autumn Squash Bread image

There are plenty of quick bread recipes around, but this one is special. A great alternative to pumpkin, squash plays a starring role in this moist, lightly spiced loaf. It's great for gift-giving, snacking, or breakfast on the run. Have also included a Squash butter recipe.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would add more baking powder next time.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
