Something different I wanted to share. This is a bread machine recipe, but if someone with more baking skills than I have wants to try converting it, go right ahead. It's a nice fall bread, although obviously you can make it any time. The recipe is about 50% a recipe I found somewhere and 50% trial and error on my part. (Please respect the recipe! When I say "trial and error" I do mean it, especially the "error" part.)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup warm (not hot) water

1/2 cup butternut squash bisque/soup

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons powdered milk

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional, but it really adds to the flavor)

1 tablespoon honey

2 1/4 cups white flour

1 cup + 2 tablespoons whole wheat or rye flour

2 teaspoons yeast

Add ingredients in order to bread machine pan. Use "basic" setting to bake. If the dough seems too dry while mixing (which can happen in dry weather), you can add more water, but only 1 teaspoon at a time. The higher moisture content in this bread makes it a bit touchy to deal with. After baking, let cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing.
