ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans or 1 (9x5-inch) loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs until well mixed. Stir in remaining ingredients except nuts and raisins. Stir in nuts and raisins. Divide batter evenly between 8-inch pans or pour into 9-inch pan.
• Bake 8-inch loaves 50 to 60 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on cooling rack 10 minutes.
• Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

JUDY'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• 1. You will need 2 Cups of grated zucchini. IF you are using an 8-10 young zucchini, there's no need to peel or de-seed. IF they get away from you and you have a baseball bat sized one, just peel it lightly, cut it in half and remove the seeds.
• 2. Combine and mix wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl.....you can beat the eggs and add separately. i just usually add them 1 at a time and let the mixer do the work. The grated zucchini is considered a wet ingredient. Set aside.
• 3. In another large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir to mix.
• 4. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until well combined.
• 5. IF you are using nuts, now is the time to add them, stir them in. It's just as good with or without. We have a lot of nut allergies, so I usually leave them out, or maybe just add to one loaf.......I especially like pecans or black walnuts in this.
• 6. Spray or butter 2 loaf pans well. I use Baker's Joy. It will stick if you don't. Bake at 350* for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan, 5-10 min and remove to wire rack.
• 7. This freezes well. If you are over-run with zucchini, grate and freeze it in 2 Cup amounts. Thaw in a colander and squeeze/press the moisture out. You do not need to squeeze the moisture out of the freshly grated zucchini, although i do usually let it hang out in the colander for a bit, while i'm mixing everything else up.
