Old Fashioned Zucchini Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs until fluffy; add oil, sugar, vanilla, and zucchini; mix well.
• Combine dry ingredients and add to wet mixture; mix well.
• Toss nuts and/or raisins in a bit of flour then stir into batter.
• Pour batter into two 9x5" loaf pans that have been sprayed on bottoms only with no-stick cooking spray; bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bread tests (a toothpick inserted near center of loaf comes out clean) done; cool loaves for about 10 minutes in pans then loosen sides of loaves (I do this by running a small plastic knife around the edges) and remove from pans; cool completely before slicing.
• NOTE: I include about 3/4 cup whole wheat flour in the total amount.

Steps:

• Adjust rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the butter, oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in the zucchini.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir the zucchini mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
• Bake, rotating the pan about halfway through, until puffed and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
• Beat the eggs, vanilla, sugar, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl until smooth. Fold in the flour, dates, and zucchini until no dry spots remain. Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water, add honey and let stand until it bubbles, approx 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add salt and oil to yeast mixture, then add flour a little at time until you have a stiff dough.
• Turn dough out on a floured surface and mold into a ball shape. Place in pan and cover; let rise for about an hour.
• Punch down the ball of dough and mold it into a loaf shape to fit you bread pan. Cover with a towel and let raise again until it doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes. Bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when thumped.
