Tips for Making Butternut Squash Rolls:

Choosing the Right Butternut Squash: Select a medium-sized butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squashes with blemishes or soft spots.
Roasting the Butternut Squash: Roasting the butternut squash brings out its natural sweetness and enhances its flavor. Make sure to roast the squash until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Mashing the Butternut Squash: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the roasted butternut squash until it is smooth and creamy. For a finer texture, you can also use a food processor.
Activating the Yeast: To ensure that the rolls rise properly, it is important to activate the yeast before adding it to the dough. Follow the instructions on the yeast packet for the specific method of activation.
Kneading the Dough: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Rising the Dough: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
Shaping the Rolls: Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into rolls. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to shape the rolls.
Baking the Rolls: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and cooked through. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the rolls.
