Zucchini Bread

Remember these guys from the other day?



The Zucchini Brothers.

Today Terry did a job on them; they got shredded in preparation of being made into Zucchini Bread.



Four zukes produced 12 cups of shredded material. Enough for 12 loaves of zucchini bread.

We only have four loaf pans (which is good since the oven only has room for four at a time!) so that means three cycles through the process of baking. Luckily a cold front came through yesterday evening and it’s a bit cooler today. (Only got up to 81° F today as opposed to 86 ° F yesterday. And there are more thunderstorms/showers as a second weak cold front moves through this afternoon.)

Here’s the product of the first round:



Fresh out of the oven. Fantastic aroma. Smell it? No? Too bad.



After a few minutes they get put on a raised rack for further cooling. When they reach air temperature, the will be wrapped in Saran Wrap and then aluminum foil and popped into the freezer.

All but one that is. It will be tomorrow’s breakfast. (And the rest will probably be gone by lunch time!)

If we kept more than one out, we’d go through them like they were potato chips. With a loaf of this on the counter you can’t help but take a slice every time you walk past. And if your sniffer is working, you’ll find a reason to walk past much too frequently!

Being frozen we can forget about them…sorta. Being frozen, they make a great gift to bring when visiting someone or a quick dessert to have with coffee and tea if a guest pops in unexpectedly.
