This depends on temperature and humidity of your area. Left in the bread box wrapped in plastic about 3 to 5 days. Refrigerated about 7 to 10 days and frozen, several weeks.
no, i would say Zucchini bread has 1800 century American origins.
No
Banana bread, zucchini bread, poppysead bread, carrot bread... etc....
Yes, zucchini bread can be made without cinnamon, but it will not taste quite the same as traditional zucchini bread. You might want to experiment by substituting other "sweet" spices such as ginger, allspice or nutmeg.
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.
They probably did.
Yes, melted shortening can replace vegetable oil in zucchini bread, although shortening is not a healthy choice.
It will lack flavor
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.
Yes! I eat it for dessert sometimes.
The top of zucchini bread is typically flat due to the moisture content from the zucchini, which can prevent it from rising significantly. Additionally, the batter's density and the absence of strong leavening agents contribute to a more level surface as it bakes. When the bread cooks, it tends to spread out rather than rise dramatically, resulting in a flat top. Proper mixing and baking techniques can also influence the final shape of the bread.
The exact history of zucchini bread is not known but most quick breads were not developed until the 18th century after the discovery of the first leavening reagent 'pearlash'. And zucchini as we know it didn't exist until the 19th century where it was the result of a mutation of a squash plant (which did originate in the Americas) that occurred in Italy.
