2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
6 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup shortening

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a small saucepan, cover squash cubes with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash.
