ZUKE PECAN BREAD



Zuke Pecan Bread image

I found this great Zuke Bread recipe in the Rocky Mountain News, but, it originated in The Uncommon Gourmet Cookbook by Ellen Helman. I've made it many times over the years and have always had good luck with it. I also like to make muffins out of this batter as well. Fill them about 2/3 full and bake about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Bread or muffins freeze really well. I cut down the prep time by grating and freezing 3 cups of Zuke's in freezer bags and defrosting as I need them.

KUMQUAT PECAN BREAD



Kumquat Pecan Bread image

I saw this recipe on the Kumquat Grower's website and decided to make it. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The kumquat fruit is extremely juicy and tasty, with a sweet outer peel and slightly tart inner flesh. But pureeing the peel and pulp together offers a sweet, fruity addition that produces a wonderful loaf that can be served as a side dish, quick breakfast (topped with marmalade) or as a snack. You can use any chopped nuts, but most copies of this recipe listed pecans as the preferred nut, and it's what I used and think it worked out well.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup pureed kumquat
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease an 8x5-inch loaf pan.
  • To puree kumquats: wash the kumquats and cut each one in half. Remove seeds. Place kumquat halves in food processor and process until pureed; set aside. (I actually finely chopped mine rather than pureeing them, and it worked out just fine.).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs and oil.
  • In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir until moistened.
  • Fold in pureed kumquats and pecans.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 50-60 minutes.
  • Cool and remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe zucchini. The best zucchini for bread are those that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is too soft or has blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini. You can use a box grater or a food processor to grate the zucchini. If you are using a food processor, be sure to use the shredding blade.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help to prevent the bread from being too wet. You can use a cheesecloth or a kitchen towel to squeeze out the moisture.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until they are fragrant.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. This will give the bread a hearty flavor and texture. You can also use all-purpose flour if you prefer.
  • Add a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. These spices will give the bread a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Zucchini pecan bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. This bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly crunchy texture from the pecans. It is also a good source of fiber and nutrients. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious bread recipe, zucchini pecan bread is a great option.
