WHEAT GERM ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and flour 2 bread pans.
• Tap out excess.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sift flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together into a small bowl.
• Stir in wheat germ.
• Beat eggs until very frothy.
• Add oil, maple flavoring and both sugars and beat until very light and sugar is more or less dissolved.
• This takes awhile.
• You'll need an electric mixer.
• With mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients.
• Dust nuts lightly with flour.
• Add them along with the zucchini and blend gently into the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Pour into prepared pans.
• (I like the pyrex glass ones best for quick breads.) Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for about 1 hour until top of the bread springs back when lightly touched.
• Cool on wire rack for about a half hour.
• When ready to remove from pans, slide a knife gently around the edges of the pans to loosen bread.
• Easy does it.
• Slide the bread out and allow to cool completely on the bread board.
• Cover loosely with a light towel or piece of plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
