Actually, Italian squash is zucchini. Just another fancy name. :) I was confused too, because the organic ones at the store are tiny and seem to be different from zucchini. They aren't though.
You could use squash or maybe carrot depending on the recipe
Yess only if you want banana nut bread muffins
Then you would be making Pineapple Nut Bread instead of Zucchini Nut Bread. With the increased acidity of the pineapple, you might need more baking soda. I suggest you look for a recipe for pineapple quick breads and make an ingredient comparison.
You can use green beans, zucchini, or eggplant as substitutes for okra in a recipe.
To make moist zucchini bread, ensure you grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture before adding it to the batter. Additionally, use ingredients like oil, yogurt, or applesauce to keep the bread moist during baking.
Yes, melted shortening can replace vegetable oil in zucchini bread, although shortening is not a healthy choice.
You should be able to use a Zucchini Bread recipe and come up with something or any bread recipe that calls for ground or shredded fruit or vegetable as part or all of the liquid. The flavor is going to be different depending on what the pulp came from and if there are other spices or flavorings they may not go with the flavor of the pulp. Only way to know is to try it.
Baking soda will cause things to rise also. Muffins are smaller so there is not as much need for lift. Baking powder will give more rise than soda. Whoever created the recipe chose to use soda instead of baking powder.
The recommended usage of Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast in a bread recipe is to use 1 teaspoon of yeast for every cup of flour in the recipe.
Depends on what zucchini bake you're referring too. I substitute cornmeal all the time when I don't have breadcrumbs for a baked zucchini recipe.
You can use dry milk in a bread machine recipe by adding it along with the other dry ingredients, following the instructions in the recipe. Dry milk helps improve the texture and flavor of the bread.
I love zucchini and grow it in my garden every year. Zucchini is pretty much tasteless, and takes on the flavor of whatever it is mixed in with it. I make zucchini bread with pineapple, nuts and raisins, chocolate zucchini bread, which tastes like brownies, lemon zucchini bread with nuts, zest of a lemon and lemon flavoring. With that being said, this is how I would do it. If you want zucchini to taste like apple pie use all the ingredients you normally use for apple pie, substituting zucchini for apples. Zucchini has a lot of water, so I think I would slice, chop it and put on paper towels to remove some of the moisture. I even think you could mix zucchini and apples.
