Butternut-Yogurt Bread
This salted bread is perfect with a bowl of soup in one of those chilly days. My husband likes to cut a wedge open and make a sandwich. It has a strong butternut taste and it is fluffy. It can also be baked in muffin pans. It is a light way to use up abundant fall butternut squash.
