WHOLE WHEAT ZUCCHINI BREAD



Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

I took an old favorite and juiced it up by cutting the white sugar completely, replacing with honey and brown sugar to reduce the total sweetener by half. I also cut the oil back to 25 percent and introduced one-third whole wheat flour. The results are in; it's even better than the original! I like to use the huge zucchini that didn't get picked on time, as long as it's still green and healthy. This is a large batch recipe, but you can easily cut it in half.

This is a very good whole wheat zucchini yeast bread. The zucchini blends right into the dough, providing half of the moisture and subtle flavor. The bread is so light that a 1 1/2 pound loaf recipe will be the same size as a 2 pound loaf. We love this bread. Enjoy.

ZUCCHINI HERB BREAD



zucchini herb bread image

this bread is very light and the moisture from the zucchini makes the dough rise to the size of a 2 lb loaf

Provided by chia2160

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 1/2 lb loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 cup shredded zucchini (4 oz)
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

  • add all ingredients to bread machine in this order.
  • cook on basic cycle.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful bread, use fresh zucchini. If you don't have fresh zucchini on hand, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release the zucchini's moisture and prevent the bread from becoming too dense.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make the bread dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can also make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat zucchini herb bread is a delicious and healthy quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different herbs, cheeses, or nuts to create a unique and flavorful bread that your family and friends will love. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and the goodness of whole wheat flour and zucchini, this bread is a winner.
