Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 units large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and sugar until well combined.
Place the grated zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel and wring it out over the sink to remove excess moisture. Set the prepared zucchini aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the milk and olive oil, and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley into the batter. Fold them in gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this savory, cheesy treat with butter, cream cheese, or on its own!
