Notes
Tips for this recipe:
- Drain the shredded zucchini in a colander while you grease the pans and start the recipe. This will remove any extra moisture and will prevent the bread from being soupy inside.
- Grease the pans well.
- Put your oven rack just under the middle so the bread is evenly situated in the oven. This will help prevent the top or bottom from burning and should give a nice browned crust all the way around the bread.
