Kabocha Squash Twisted Bread Rolls

A bakery near where I used to live, sold kabocha squash bread. I used to love the simple sweetness and bright color. I felt nostalgic about it and wanted to have it again, so I borrowed ideas from several places to come up with this similar recipe. It's been a big success!
Adjust the amount of water added depending on how watery the kabocha squash you use is.
Use whatever kabocha squash paste you like. I made mine like this: I added 40g of sugar to 150 g of microwaved and cooked kabocha squash, and microwaved the mixture again to evaporate some of the moisture. Recipe by Kechauru recipe

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the milk and egg, and add enough cold water to make it 150 ml in total. Put it in a bread machine along with the rest of the dough ingredients and start the "dough" course. Let the machine complete the 1st rising.
- 2
Take the dough out and divide into 2 pieces. Round off each piece, cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel, and rest for 15 minutes or so.
- 3
Roll out the dough to about a 20x30cm rectancle. Spread half the kabocha squash paste thinly and evenly on top.
- 4
Fold the dough into thirds.
- 5
Roll out with a rolling pin to blend the dough and paste together.
- 6
Cut into 5 pieces.
- 7
Make cuts in the dough with a pastry scraper or similar as shown.
- 8
Pinch the ends while stretching and twisting the dough.
- 9
Form a ring or knot the dough to form it.
- 10
Form the other half of the dough quickly in the same way.
- 11
Place the formed rolls on a kitchen parchment paper lined baking tray, and leave to rise (2nd rising) until the dough has doubled in volume, for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- 12
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds if you have them, and bake in a 190°C oven for 15 minutes.
- 13
These ones were brushed with an egg wash before baking.
- 14
This one was formed into a knot. It doesn't look as nice as the ring shaped rolls, but it does puff up better.
- 15
Variation: Roll up the dough after Step 3, cut into 3cm wide pieces, and brush the cut sides with egg yolk before baking. It won't have layers, but it's easy and delicious!

Cute Braided Bread Rolls Cute Braided Bread Rolls
These are easy to shape so I usually pack these in my bento lunchbox. I fill the rolls with chocolate, stewed apples, leftover kinpira burdock stir-fry, or patties. You won't be able to tell they are made with leftovers.Sprinkle with granulated sugar instead of powdered cheese if you're adding sweet fillings.I use low-fat milk, but you can use any kind of milk.Add the butter after kneading the mixture of the ingredients in your bread machine and the dough starts to come together. The dough will become smoother (add the butter 8 to 10 minutes after you start kneading). Recipe by putimiko cookpad.japan -

Chocolate Bread Rolls Chocolate Bread Rolls
Thinking back to the bread sold at my elementary school snack shop, besides the apple bread, there was a long chocolate bread. Its chewy texture and the chocolate inside really won my heart. Although I can't replicate the exact texture, I decided to make a similar chocolate bread roll to relive that memory.Feel free to visit my blog at http://lemon-banana.blogspot.com/Tips* You can substitute instant yeast for regular dry yeast, using half the amount and adding it directly to the flour to mix into a dough.* You can use any spread you like for the filling.* You can replace the milk with egg wash. 檸檬樹下的焦香屋Translated from Cookpad Taiwan -

Chocolate Banana Stick Bread Rolls Chocolate Banana Stick Bread Rolls
Freshly baked banana bread with banana kneaded into the dough is light and fluffy and has an irresistible sweet scent when freshly baked. But when I tried to knead it by hand, the dough was so sticky, I had a lot of trouble. I changed the ratio of ingredients and shape of the bread little by little, to come up with this easy-to-make recipe.Regular bread dough may start out sticky but gradually become smoother and easier to handle, but this dough starts out stiff and becomes softer and softer. It also won't rise much, so you may be concerned, but when it's baked it will be properly airy and light. Recipe by caramel-cookie cookpad.japan -
Simple Walnut Bread Rolls Simple Walnut Bread Rolls
I kept these simple so that they could be eaten for dinner.You can use strong milky tea for the liquid instead.Raw walnuts should be roasted in a 150°C (not preheated) oven for 15 to 20 minutes.I put the in walnuts in at the beginning as my daughter likes it this way, but if you want them to be more prominent in the bread, add them halfway through.
