Pull-Apart Pumpkin Bread

Instructions

1. Peel and chop the squash. Boil it or steam it in a large pot, until softened. To understand if the squash is ready check it with a fork. If the fork enters easily inside the squash, it's ready. Drain it and let it cool down completely.

2. When the squash is cold, smash it with a fork and place it in a big bowl. add a pinch of salt, oil, egg, honey and mix it well.

3. Make the dough. In another medium bowl, add flour with sugar and yeast. Mix it well and combine it to the squash, little by little. Start with 500g of flour and add the rest 250g if necessary. The dough will be very sticky at the beginning, so use a spoon to mix it. Make sure all the flour is incorporated before adding more of it. You will need to reach a smooth dough that feels soft under your palms, but not sticky. A dough that you can knead easily with your hands.

4. Knead the dough. Place the dough over a well floured surface and knead it as if you were making know knead bread. After 10 minutes of kneading and folding, place the dough back into the bowl. Wrap the bowl hermetically and let it rise for 2h in a warm and dry place.
