Zucchini Bread Recipe

Zucchini bread is a delicious and healthy bread recipe made with zucchinis. Here’s a simple zucchini bread recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk or yogurt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (preferably olive oil)
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. First, place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with a little salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. This process will help remove excess water from the zucchinis and regulate the texture of the bread.
2. Squeeze out the excess water from the zucchinis and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
3. Add the eggs, milk or yogurt, and vegetable oil to the zucchinis, and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optionally, black pepper and thyme. Sift these dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon.
5. If desired, you can also add the grated cheddar cheese to the mixture.
6. Pour the prepared zucchini bread batter into a greased or parchment-lined bread loaf pan.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40-45 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or a knife into the center of the bread.
8. Once the zucchini bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly at room temperature.
9. Slice and serve the zucchini bread, optionally garnishing it with fresh greens.

Note: Zucchini bread is a healthy and nutritious alternative, especially suitable for breakfast or as a snack. You can also add various seeds or nuts to the recipe to enrich its flavor. Enjoy!
