Zucchini Harvest Bread Recipes

GARDEN HARVEST VEGETABLE BREAD LOAF

Steps:

• Place the zucchini in a colander and toss with 1 Tbsp of salt. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to let the salt draw out the moisture. Once it has sat, squeeze the zucchini to drain out as much excess liquid as possible. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the yeast, sugar, and warm water and let set for 10 minutes or until the yeast foamed up around all of the surface area of the water.
• Turn mixer onto medium-low and add in melted butter, zucchini, carrots, olives, bread flour, oregano, 1/2 Tbsp salt, and paprika. If the dough is too sticky to form a ball, add more flour, 1 Tbsp at a time.
• Switch to the dough attachment and knead on medium speed for 5 minutes.
• Grease a bowl with olive oil and transfer dough to the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into equal halves and shape two round loaves onto the baking sheet, making sure to leave enough room for the bread to at least double in size (you may have to use two baking sheets depending on the size of your sheets).
• Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes or until doubled again.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops have browned, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool.
• Slice and serve with butter or plain yogurt and olives.

CARROT ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Combine the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir in the brown sugar. Add the zucchini, carrots, and orange and lemon zests.
• Stir the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

ZUCCHINI BREAD JAM

Steps:

• To begin, combine the shredded zucchini, apple juice, pectin, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large pot. (I always use an 8 quart, stainless-steel stock pot. Enameled cast iron is also fine. You never want to use aluminum or other reactive metal. That includes the utensils as well.)
• Stir the ingredients together and bring it to a rolling boil over medium high heat. A rolling boil is a boil that can not be stopped by vigorous stirring.
• Add the sugar and again bring it to a rolling boil. Stir continually. Boil for 1 minute and remove it from the heat.
• Ladle the jam into prepared half pint jars. Leave 1/4 inch of head space.
• Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims, and add the lids and rings.
• Place the jars in your hot water bath or steam canner, and process for 15 minutes. (Adjust for elevation.)
• When they are done processing, turn off the heat, and remove the lid to the canner and allow the jars to sit for 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the jars to a surface that is lined with towels, or a cooling rack - in a place that is draft-free. Leave the jars, undisturbed for 12-24 hours.
• Remove the rings and test the seals.
• Label and store in your pantry.

ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans or 1 (9x5-inch) loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs until well mixed. Stir in remaining ingredients except nuts and raisins. Stir in nuts and raisins. Divide batter evenly between 8-inch pans or pour into 9-inch pan.
• Bake 8-inch loaves 50 to 60 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on cooling rack 10 minutes.
• Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.
