Savory Zucchini Beer Bread Recipes

HERBED ZUCCHINI CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients, herbs, green onions or shallots and cheese; stir to mix well.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly; add oil and milk, and mix well.
• Stir in zucchini.
• Add liquid ingredients with zucchini to flour mixture and stir just until all ingredients are moistened; do not overmix.
• Pour into a greased and floured 8- by 4-inch loaf pan, and smooth top of batter.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let loaf stand for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

SAVORY ZUCCHINI GARLIC ONION DILL BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or butter 3 mini loaf pans (3 1/2 x 6) or 1 standard loaf pan.
• 2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk. (Can sift if you would prefer.) Using a large spoon to this bowl, add zucchini, cheese, onion and dill, coating completely.
• 3. Add wet ingredients (eggs, milk w/vinegar, and melted butter).
• 4. Stir until just blended. Place equally in to prepared pans.
• 5. Bake 3 mini loaves for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with 1/2 of butter garlic powder mixture. Return to oven approximately 5 more minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean and they are golden brown. When done, brush with remaining butter mixture.
• 6. (For a standard size loaf, bake approximately 45 minutes, brush with butter and return for an additional 5 minutes.) I have never used a large pan myself, so watch closely.

SAVORY ZUCCHINI BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a colander and let stand for 15 minutes. Gather it up in your hands and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
• Preheat the oven 375°F. Generously grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the sugar, and black pepper. Add the zucchini, scallions, coarsely shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil, folding to combine, then pour in the beer. Let stand for a few minutes as the dry ingredients absorb the beer, then fold gently until everything is moistened. It'll be a dense and tacky batter. Scrape into the prepared pan.
• Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the finely shredded cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake until set in the center and a tester comes out clean, 75 to 80 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then unmold. This bread can be served warm (though it'll be a bit gooey inside) and should be eaten within a day or two, stored loosely covered at room temperature.

• Pour dough into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula or back of a spoon. Add additional cheese on top if desired.
• Bake for 50 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
