Aunt Ritas Zucchini Bread Recipes

MUST-TRY, SUPER-MOIST ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan or a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan if using as much as a pound of zucchini (see notes above). For easy removal, line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper that hangs over the edges.
• Whisk together first five ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining ingredients except zucchini. Add zucchini to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Add dry to wet and stir till until combined. Pour into pan. Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you have an instant read thermometer, it should register 205ºF or above. (Note: Every oven is different, and different pans conduct heat differently - be patient with the cooking. It may take 20-30 minutes more. With the longer cooking time, the bread shouldn't burn, but if you are noticing the bread getting too brown, cover it with foil.)
• Let bread cool for 15 minutes in pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

• In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix the sugar, oil and beaten eggs in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture. Stir in the grated zucchini, coconut, nuts and cherries.

MY GREAT AUNT'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 325 F.
• Grease and flour 2 5x9 loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
• Shred the zucchini into thin strips either by hand or a food processor attachment.
• Press the zucchini dry by putting it in a strainer and press down (in the sink or outside) with a few paper towels until the towels don't really absorb much more water. (This is so the zucchini absorb the ingredients rather than make the bread mushy with all their water).
• In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and zucchini.
• Sift (the sifting is important!) flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices (sometimes I add more of the spices if I'm making the loaf for me).
• Add dry mixture to wet zucchini mixture and beat with a fork until well blended.
• Fold in chopped nuts.
• Pour into the loaf pans.
• Bake at 325 F for 1 hour, or 45 min if you're using mini loaf pans.
• Check every 20 minutes for doneness with a toothpick or knife. I like it when its just starts to get crispy on top, but still has a little shine to it.
• Cool 20 minutes in pans on a rack, then remove from pans.
