In reply to Cat. I'm thrilled that you like the bread! I think my pans are standard, maybe 8x4 inches.

Outstanding. Curious what size bread pans you use, since my bread didn’t expand to my pans but I normally make 2lb loaves. I always butter the top out of the oven. It has a wonderful tender crumb- my kids loved it- never realized I could use up my squash purées in bread. This will be a go to recipe! Thank you

Such a great recipe!! Have used variety of squash – acorn, delicata, etc – and always turns out well. We love it with soup but have also used all white flour and used it as sandwich bread for the week (makes a great grilled cheese!).

In reply to Lomash. Without being in your kitchen with you, it's hard to guess what might have gone wrong. Did you by chance substitute any ingredients? Or change a method?

Do not make this bread. Ended up throwing it all out.

I’ve been baking these loaves for two years now. I add walnut pieces and craisins (about 3/4 c each) and substitute 3/4 c oat bran for a cup of flour, to up the healthiness (adds nice texture, too). I love this recipe! Thank you for posting it.

In reply to Deb. Hi, Deb! So sorry about that. The salt should be added along with the flour. I'm glad you enjoyed the bread and will be making it again. Hopefully you will enjoy it even more next time!

I made this bread today with butternut squash and realized when I had a slice that it lacked something. When I checked the recipe I realized that I had not put in the salt. I reread the instructions and there is nothing in them that tells you when to add the salt. I will make it again, but where does the salt get added.
