Tips:

- Choose the right zucchini: Look for fresh, firm zucchini that are about 6-8 inches long. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and seedy. - Grate the zucchini coarsely: This will help to ensure that the zucchini distributes evenly throughout the bread and provides a moist texture. - Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Use a loaf pan that is 9x5 inches or 8x4 inches: This will ensure that the bread bakes evenly. - Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes: Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the bread is done. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
