Steps
1. Cooking the Squash
Chop the butternut squash into pieces and steam cook it for about 15 to 20 minutes (or 8 minutes in a pressure cooker).
2. Pureeing the Squash
Blend the cooked squash until smooth. Allow the puree to cool slightly.
3. Kneading the Dough
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, combine the squash puree, flour, yeast, sugar, oil, eggs, and salt. Knead with the dough hook for 10 minutes. The dough should be sticky and elastic.
4. First Rise
Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour and 30 minutes (such as near a heater or in an oven preheated to 120°F and then turned off).
5. Shaping the Brioche Dough
Punch down the dough and divide it into 20 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange in a baking mold.
6. Second Rise
Allow the dough to rise again for 1 hour.
7. Baking the Brioche
Brush the top with beaten egg yolk. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
