Thanks for the vodka pie crust recipe. It's an excellent excuse to buy a bottle of Titos. And I will try the crust recipe, too. Oh, and the buns. Wish me luck.

Do you think that this recipe would work with roasted sweet potato instead of the squash? I have a surplus. Maybe add a little more liquid?

Should work fine, Cynthia! I'd hold off adding liquid, it'll probably be fine as is.

I will give it a try--thank you!

The squash brioche looks absolutely delicious and a possible Thanksgiving endeavor. I thought the recipe was really clear. One nitpicky thing: “Place the squash halves cut face down on pan transfer to oven.” Between pan and transfer, there should be something. A comma. The word and? A period, followed by T(ransfer)? As I said, nitpicky. I enjoyed reading the recipe.

The formula is called brioche but there’s no sugar in it? Please advise.

Shari - there is squash in the recipe, and it has sugars of its own...

Made them and they are delightful - thank you for a great recipe that is also easy and straightforward! I used acorn squash which worked fine. They were great the day they were baked, and (the one I managed to hold back from my hungry hoard) to see how it fared the next day) still very good after throwing them in the toaster oven for a few minutes.

Hi Andrew, this brioche looks amazing, can't wait to try it. I have a bottle of roasted pumpkin seed oil, and I'm wondering if there's any way to incorporate it into the buns. Would it be okay to sub some/all of the butter for the oil?

Yes, I bet it would be great! I've heard that roasted pumpkin seed oil is lovely, haven't found any yet.

Thank you! I get the pumpkin seed oil (and many other oils) online - https://ca.iherb.com/pr/la-tourangelle-toasted-pumpkin-seed-oil-8-45-fl-oz-250-ml/79052

Any changes needed to use the oil instead of the butter, or is a 1:1 swap okay?
