  • Shredding Vegetables and Fruits: Use a box grater or a food processor to quickly and easily shred the zucchini, carrots, and apple.

  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the bread at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the bread at the 45-minute mark and cover it with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
