Instructions: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in water.

In a mixing bowl, combine squash, milk, butter, egg, brown sugar and salt; mix well. Add yeast mixture and 1 1/2 cups flour; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide into thirds; roll each third into 18" rope. Place on a greased baking sheet. Braid ropes together; pinch ends. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Combine glaze ingredients; brush over braid.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
