SOUR CREAM ZUCCHINI BREAD



Sour Cream Zucchini Bread image

This is an extremely good and rich bread, absoutely yummy fresh from the oven but it is great chilled from the refrigerator or heated with melted butter. It can be frozen too. I make mini loaves to give as great gifts! Adapted from Mike Dolan who posted it on recipelinks and I changed it to make it my own. It would even be good with chocolate chips added! :) Makes 2 regular loaves or 4 mini loaves. Enjoy! To make the bread even healthier, try substituting 1/2 of the oil with applesauce.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 loaves(or 3-4 mini loaves)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups flour, sifted (try 2 cups white flour, 1 cup whole wheat)
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil (a neutral oil, I use corn or soy oil-or use 1/2 oil, 1/2 applesauce)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups zucchini, shredded, squeezed to remove excess liquid
1 cup nuts (or raisins-good with both!)
1/2 cup light sour cream (or plain yogurt)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and flour well 2 bread loaf pans. I like to use 4 mini loaf pans for gifts.
  • Sift together the flour(s), wheat germ if using, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
  • In a separate bowl combine the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and oil.
  • Add the dry ingredients slowly to the egg mixture.
  • When thoroughly mixed, add the sour cream and vanilla.
  • Finally, mix in the shredded zucchini, nuts and/or raisins.
  • Pour the mixture into the two loaf pans (or mini pans).
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • If baking mini loaves, adjust time to about 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Use a toothpick placed in the center of the loaf to see if the loaves are done. The toothpick should be clean or just have a few crumbs on it.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini: Choose small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the zucchini, make sure to leave some space between each slice. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Use a good quality sour cream: The sour cream is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a sour cream that is thick and creamy.
  • Season the zucchini well: Before baking, season the zucchini with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the zucchini.
  • Bake the zucchini until it is tender: The zucchini should be tender when pierced with a fork. Depending on the thickness of your zucchini slices, this will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the zucchini with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Zucchini baked in sour cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The zucchini is tender and flavorful, and the sour cream sauce is rich and creamy. This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a good way to use up leftover zucchini.
