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 ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH ITALIAN SEASONINGS



SAVORY ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH ITALIAN SEASONINGS image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Vegetable     Breakfast     Bake     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Summer     Healthy

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

325 grams zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour - all-purpose
1 tablespoon sugar - granulated
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3 large eggs
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1 sprigs thyme - fresh stems removed and leaves minced
3 oz Cheddar cheese cut into 1/4 inch cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175C). Spread a thin layer of olive oil evenly onto every inner surface of a standard 9"x5" loaf pan. Dust with flour to coat evenly. Or line the pan with parchment paper. Remove the ends of the zucchini, then shred it into a colander using the large side of a box grater. Add the salt and toss to distribute evenly. Leave the colander in the sink or over a bowl and allow the excess water to drain from the zucchini for at least 15 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and paprika together. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil and water together until the mixture has emulsified (combined) and it's light and frothy. Add the drained zucchini and thyme in with the egg mixture and stir to combine. Dump the egg mixture into the flour mixture and use a spatula to fold everything together until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter or the bread will become tough. Spread half the batter into your prepared loaf pan then add half the cheese. Add the rest of the batter and smooth off the top. Stick the remaining cheese on top, and then place the pan in the oven. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean (about 45 minutes in a convection oven). When the zucchini bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Use young, tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Overripe zucchini can be bitter and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it blend into the batter evenly and prevent it from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Savory zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden. With its moist texture and savory flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
