This morning I fancied bread and I also had a zucchini that needed using up. So, I tried this mixture out and it turned out pretty good. The cooking time includes the dough resting time.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs green zucchini (6 medium)
1 1/2 tsp salt (divided (1 tsp for sprinkling and 1/2 tsp for casserole))
2 cups cooked white rice*
1 cup sour cream ((divided into 2/3 and 1/3))

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini for the best flavor and texture. If using older zucchini, be sure to remove the seeds before grating.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release more moisture and make the damper more tender.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture from the grated zucchini as possible. This will help to prevent the damper from becoming too wet.
  • Use a combination of plain and self-raising flour for the best results. The plain flour will help to give the damper a light and fluffy texture, while the self-raising flour will help it to rise.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the damper tough.
  • Bake the damper in a hot oven until it is golden brown and cooked through. A skewer inserted into the center of the damper should come out clean.
  • Serve the damper warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and cheese damper is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover zucchini and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack or meal. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, zucchini and cheese damper is a great choice for busy families or anyone who loves a tasty and satisfying bread.
