1 Preheat oven to 350Â°F. 2  Cut squash into quarters, remove seeds & place in a baking dish with 1/2 c water. 3  Cover & bake til ltender (50 to 60 minutes). 4  Let cool & mash flesh. 5  Set aside. 6  In a large bowl, combine 3/4 c squash with remaining ingredients to form a soft dough.
Add water to a depth of 1 inch, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until tender-when you can pierce the squash easily with a small knife. (You can also microwave the squash at high 10 to 15 minutes.) Let the squash cool, then scoop the pulp out with a spoon, and mash the pulp with a potato masher. One pound uncooked butternut squash will yield about 1 cup mashed.
