Nature is amazing! Last winter I prepared some dishes with Butternut squashes. Peel and seeds landed in the compost. Weeks later I found some Butternut sprouts in the compost. I took some of the sprouts and planted them in the garden as an experiment. They have grown quite well until the big summer heat arrived. I did not good a job with irrigation and I think the seeds were hybrid, so I could just harvest one little Butternut. Anyway a gardener is always proud of his harvest, high-yield or not!
Why I’m telling you this story? Well, the little Butternut squash from my garden is starring these fluffy Cinnamon Buns I baked for today’s World Bread Day 2016.
I made a simple puree of the tiny Butternut, which gives these buns an autumnal touch. For the puree I just cut the Butternut into pieces and cooked these pieces over steam until tender and finally puréed them with a blender. I used the puree in the dough and in the cinnamon filling.
The Butternut purée gives the buns not only the orange color but also an extra special fluffy texture and the rich cream cheese icing is literally «the icing on the cake buns».
These fluffy buns are a special treat. You shouldn’t eat them everyday. Enjoy them on special occasions like World Bread Day.
