Zucchini Bread
A moist loaf made with grated zucchini and spices, making for a hearty breakfast option that's slightly sweet.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C.
-
Step 2
Coarsely grate the zucchini into the mixing bowl, leaving its moisture in the bowl. Whisk in the egg, granulated sugar, and 110.0 ml vegetable oil until glossy and evenly combined.
-
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt, then fold with the rubber spatula just until no dry flour remains. Disperse the baking soda thoroughly and avoid overmixing; it will provide modest heat-driven lift during baking.
-
Step 4
Use the rubber spatula to coat a 23 x 13 cm loaf pan with the remaining 10.0 ml vegetable oil, then scrape in the batter and level the top.
-
Step 5
Bake at 175°C until the loaf is deeply golden, the top is dry and set, and the center springs back when gently pressed, about 60 minutes.
-
Step 6
Rest the baked loaf in the loaf pan for 20 minutes, then turn it out onto the wire cooling rack.
-
Step 7
Cool the loaf on the wire cooling rack for 30 minutes before serving so the crumb finishes setting.
