Here, summer squash marries with scallions and Parmesan to create something much more flavorful and a bit more decadent than the average zucchini loaf.

Provided by Lukas Volger

Categories     HarperCollins     Bake     Bread     Zucchini     Green Onion/Scallion     Breakfast     snack     Summer     Parmesan     Beer     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian

Yield Makes 1 (8½ x 4½ -inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium zucchini or yellow squash (about 12 ounces total), coarsely grated
1 teaspoon salt, divided
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing
3 cups all-purpose flour (substitute up to half whole-wheat flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced
¼ cup coarsely shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1¼ cups light and crisp beer, such as a lager, pilsner, or Kolsch

Steps:

  • Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a colander and let stand for 15 minutes. Gather it up in your hands and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
  • Preheat the oven 375°F. Generously grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the sugar, and black pepper. Add the zucchini, scallions, coarsely shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil, folding to combine, then pour in the beer. Let stand for a few minutes as the dry ingredients absorb the beer, then fold gently until everything is moistened. It'll be a dense and tacky batter. Scrape into the prepared pan.
  • Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the finely shredded cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake until set in the center and a tester comes out clean, 75 to 80 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then unmold. This bread can be served warm (though it'll be a bit gooey inside) and should be eaten within a day or two, stored loosely covered at room temperature.

SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD



SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH BREAD image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for coating the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups grated summer squash, such as round zucchini, pattypan, or crookneck (from about 1 pound squash)
2/3 cup finely crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with olive oil; set aside. 2 Place flour, cornmeal, baking powder, oregano, salt, baking soda, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until combined. 3 Place eggs, buttermilk, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a separate large bowl and whisk until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in squash and feta until evenly combined. Pour squash mixture into flour mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated, being careful not to overmix (a few streaks of flour are OK). 4 Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top. Bake until the bread is golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean (test several spots, because you may hit a pocket of cheese), about 60 to 65 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes, then turn the bread out onto the rack and cool for at least 15 minutes more before serving.

SUMMER SQUASH BREAD PUDDING WITH FETA



Summer Squash Bread Pudding With Feta image

This savory whole-wheat bread pudding has Greek overtones, with the dill or mint and feta cheese. Make sure to squeeze as much water as you can out of the grated squash, or the dish will be too watery.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, side dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces whole-wheat bread or baguette, crusts removed (weigh after removing crusts)
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk (1 percent or 2 percent)
1 1/2 pounds mixed green and yellow summer squash, grated
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 eggs
2 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Slice the bread about 3/4 inch thick. If the bread is not stale, toast it lightly. Cut 1 of the garlic cloves in half and rub each slice of bread with the cut side of the garlic. Then cut the bread into 1-inch dice, place in a bowl and toss with 1 cup of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour, tossing every once in a while. Mince the remaining garlic and set aside.
  • While the bread is soaking, place the grated squash in a colander and salt generously. Toss and let sit in the colander in the sink for 15 minutes, then squeeze out water.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or a 10-inch ceramic tart pan. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and grated squash. Stir together until the garlic is fragrant and the squash limp, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped mint or dill and the parsley, and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the bowl with the soaked bread from the refrigerator. Using your hands, a whisk or an immersion blender, mash or beat the soaked bread so that the mixture turns to mush. Add the squash mixture and the feta to the bowl and stir together. Scrape into the oiled baking dish. Top with the grated Parmesan.
  • Break the eggs into the bowl and beat with the remaining milk, salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper. Pour over the bread mixture and place the dish in the oven. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the mixture is puffed, golden brown on the top and set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right summer squash: Look for small, tender squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is large, seedy, or has blemishes.
  • Grate the squash: Grating the squash helps it to release its moisture and makes it easier to incorporate into the bread batter.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a delicious flavor to the bread. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: Baking the bread in a loaf pan helps it to rise evenly and prevents it from becoming too flat.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Letting the bread cool completely before slicing helps it to hold its shape and prevents it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Summer squash bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is a great way to use up fresh summer squash and it is also a healthy and flavorful bread that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist texture and savory flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
