Ask the Chef – Tips & Tricks

Grate the zucchini finely: The finer the zucchini is grated, the more evenly it will distribute in the bread and the better the texture will be. You can use a box grater or a food processor with a grating blade.
Do not overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough and dense texture. Mix the batter until the dry ingredients are just combined with the wet ingredients.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice will give the bread a brighter, fresher citrus flavor than pre-packaged orange juice.
Cool completely: Letting the bread cool completely before slicing will make it easier to slice and prevent it from falling apart or becoming gummy.
Variations: Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor. You could also swap out the cranberries for raisins or other dried fruit.
Storing: This bread will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature if kept in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months if wrapped well in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
