I have started looking through the index of the King Arthur All-Purpose Baker’s Companion when I have extra ingredients. Turns out we are getting to summer around where I live and that means a lot of extra zucchini.
I have never really been a fan of zucchini bread in the past so I had been avoiding this particular recipe for a minute.
That being said, I had several large zucchinis that needed tp be eaten and so I turned to the index of the Baker’s Companion and found Simple Zucchini bread. (It also can be found here on the King Arthur Website.)
It lives up to its name.
I feel like this recipe has three main steps: grate the zucchini, mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients. It is very easy to throw together in a few minutes. That being said, the bake time has gotten me one of the two times that I have made this loaf. I started it a bit late in the evening and ended up delivering the loaf to a friend at 10pm. Not my goal, but the bread was well received nonetheless.
The recipe gives all sorts of options for the liquid in this recipe. I opted for milk because that is what I had. I also only had an 8×4 bread pan which did make the baking time slightly longer. I also opted to add the optional cinnamon.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed this loaf. I have had a slice many times with breakfast. I am looking forward to making more of these and maybe even a couple miniature loaves this summer.
