Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 cup shredded zucchini

1 tablespoon grated onion

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil and flour a baking pan that is sized 9" x 5". In a large bowl, add and mix the flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Blend well and set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk, sugar and butter and beat the mixture with a fork until it is well blended. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and only blend until the flour is moistened and the batter is still lumpy.

Add the zucchini and onion to your zucchini bread batter. Pour your batter into the greased and floured baking pan. Put it into the oven and bake for one hour or more. Check for doneness by putting a toothpick into the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, your zucchini bread is done.

Place your bread in the pan on a rack to cool for ten minutes. Remove from the pan.

This zucchini bread recipe is suitable for all cooks, including novices. You can serve this bread as nutritious bread for your soup or it also is suitable for the dinner table. The most important thing to remember when making zucchini bread is to use fresh, organic ingredients.
