ELLEN'S LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD
This is THE BEST lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread that she had made while she was visiting. After I made it the first time I can understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone!!! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories, fat, etc.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven 325 F.
- Grease and flour 2 5x9 loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
- Shred the zucchini into thin strips either by hand or a food processor attachment.
- Press the zucchini dry by putting it in a strainer and press down (in the sink or outside) with a few paper towels until the towels don't really absorb much more water. (This is so the zucchini absorb the ingredients rather than make the bread mushy with all their water).
- In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and zucchini.
- Sift (the sifting is important!) flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices (sometimes I add more of the spices if I'm making the loaf for me).
- Add dry mixture to wet zucchini mixture and beat with a fork until well blended.
- Fold in chopped nuts.
- Pour into the loaf pans.
- Bake at 325 F for 1 hour, or 45 min if you're using mini loaf pans.
- Check every 20 minutes for doneness with a toothpick or knife. I like it when its just starts to get crispy on top, but still has a little shine to it.
- Cool 20 minutes in pans on a rack, then remove from pans.

Steps:
- combine dry ingredients. mix egg, oil, sugar, vanilla. Add zucchini and pineapple, dry ingred. currants, and nuts. Grease and flour two loaf pans. Cook at 350 for one hour.
Tips:
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini release its moisture and blend seamlessly into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: This will ensure that the bread has enough room to rise and bake evenly.
- Bake the bread at 350°F for 55-65 minutes: Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.
