3 eggs

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

CLASSIC ZUCCHINI BREAD



Classic Zucchini Bread image

A quintessential quick bread, zucchini bread blurs the line between breakfast and cake, making it acceptable for both. This version is on the sweeter side, the vegetal flavors mellowed by brown sugar, cinnamon and a bit of browned butter. While not always necessary, squeezing excess water from the zucchini will prevent the batter from being too wet while keeping the end result moist. Since this recipe makes two loaves (if you're going to grate all that zucchini, might as well make it count), know that one will freeze excellently for at least a month. The recipe can also be halved with great success.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
3 ½ cups/447 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (or ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg)
4 large eggs
¾ cup/165 grams light brown sugar
¾ cup/151 grams sugar
¾ cup/180 milliliters canola oil
1 ½ pounds zucchini, unpeeled and grated on a box grater (about 3 medium zucchini)
4 tablespoons demerara or turbinado sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 8-x4-inch loaf pans with softened butter and line with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and smell like hazelnuts, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a whisk to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot; set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together eggs, light brown sugar, sugar and canola oil in a medium bowl until no lumps remain and eggs are well blended.
  • Using your hands, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. Add zucchini and browned butter to the egg mixture, whisking to blend.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to slowly incorporate until no dry spots remain.
  • Divide batter among prepared pans, smoothing the top. Sprinkle both with demerara sugar, if using, and place in oven. Bake, rotating once, until bread is golden brown on top, pulls away from the sides and springs back lightly when pressed at the top, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the loaf pan.

Tips:

  • Fresh Zucchini: Use fresh, firm zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Grating the zucchini allows it to blend seamlessly into the batter.
  • Measuring Flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using a measuring cup.
  • Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bread while it bakes. The baking time can vary depending on the size of the loaf pan and your oven. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Cooling: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the flavors meld and the bread to set properly.

Conclusion:

Caley's Classic Zucchini Bread is a delicious and versatile recipe that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and hint of cinnamon, this bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you follow the original recipe or experiment with different variations, this zucchini bread is a great way to use up fresh zucchini and enjoy a tasty homemade treat.
