ZUCCHINI BREAD
The cylindrical zucchini squash has been grown as a staple vegetable in the Americas
since the Aztecs, long before it was known as Italian summer squash. A more delicate
cousin of winter squashes like pumpkins, zucchini are really a soft-shelled, immature
version. They are available all year round and are a favorite home garden crop, where
they can grow to astounding proportions. The shredded raw vegetable makes for a col-
orful, flavorful dinner bread, adding considerable moisture to the dough. Try this
bread for grilled cheese sandwiches.
