Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Grating the zucchini releases its moisture, so it's important to use fresh zucchini that is crisp and firm.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature. The bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
