Notes
- No need to peel the zucchini before grating.
- Cooking time: baking time has been amended, however as oven performance varies, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread and it should come out clean when the bread is done.
- Serving - Slice and serve freshly baked, at room temperature, or reheat using a dry skillet on low heat, or place on a baking tray and reheat in a low oven.
- Storing - cover and store the bread in a cool part of the kitchen or in the fridge, it will keep for up to 3 days.
- Wrap the zucchini bread and freeze in slices for convenience. Place the wrapped slices in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw at room temperature.
