Moist Zucchini Bread image

Mable Clarke includes this zucchini bread among the treats that end the fish fry she started to save Soapstone Baptist Church in her South Carolina community. This recipe uses grated zucchini--it's easy to do with a food processor, but you can also use a box grater to do the job. While some recipes call for squeezing the water out of the zucchini after it's grated, don't--it's the secret to this quick bread's extra moistness.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which makes for a moist bread. If you're using older zucchini, grate it and squeeze out the excess moisture before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking zucchini bread is 350°F (175°C). Baking it at a higher temperature will cause the bread to brown too quickly and the inside to be undercooked.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture and sweet flavor, zucchini bread is a favorite among people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make the best zucchini bread that you and your family will love.
