Tips
- • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel to prevent a soggy bread • Use fresh rosemary for the most vibrant flavor—dried herbs can work but won't be as aromatic • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better ingredient integration • Don't overmix the batter; mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender • Check the bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it set and maintain its structure • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer preservation
