Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful bread, use freshly grated zucchini. Grating the zucchini also helps release its moisture, which contributes to the bread's texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches in size. A smaller pan will result in a thicker, denser bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
