Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups warm milk
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup squash puree or 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
5 tablespoons vegetable shortening
4 -5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons poppy seeds or 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1
In a large bowl, combine milk with yeast, sugar, and salt. Let stand 5 minutes, then add egg and beat well to combine.
2
Add squash and shortening; mash with a fork until shortening is in small pieces. Add 11/2 cups flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. Gradually mix in more flour by the cupful until dough collects around spoon and pulls away from sides of bowl (you may not need all the flour).
3
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead 2 minutes. Put dough in a greased bowl; cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 11/2 hours.
4
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and butter a large baking sheet. Punch dough down, turn out onto a lightly floured work surface, and knead until dough is smooth and supple, about 7 minutes. Cut dough into 4 balls; cut each ball into 6 pieces.
5
Roll each piece into a round and arrange rounds on baking sheet so they barely touch. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds; cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes.
6
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then pull apart to serve.
