Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
-
Grate Zucchini: Peel the zucchini and grate it using the large holes of a box grater.
-
Squeeze Excess Moisture: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are frothy. Add the zucchini, salt, garlic powder, and baking soda.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour until it's well aerated.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
-
Add Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can lead to tough bread.
Step 5: Pour into Loaf Pan
-
Prepare Pan: Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
-
Bake: Set your oven to the bake function at 350°F (175°C). This temperature will ensure even baking and a moist crumb. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
-
Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve as desired.
Tips for Zucchini Bread:
-
Zucchini Preparation: Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to prevent the bread from becoming too moist.
-
Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick but pourable.
-
Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bread as it bakes to prevent overcooking. The exact time may vary slightly based on your oven.
-
Storage: Store leftovers in an a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
