Best Garlic Zucchini Damper Bread Recipes

GARLIC ZUCCHINI DAMPER BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oil in sauce pan and add shredded zucchini.
• Cook, stirring constantly, just a couple of minutes until the zucchini is softened.
• Put the flour and butter into a large bowl.
• Work the butter through the flour with your fingers until fully combined.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients apart from the last teaspoon of melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
• Combine until it comes together as a dough.
• Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a couple minutes not over working too much.
• Form into a large ball and either cover in a clean dish towel or wrap in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Spread the melted butter over the top and dust with reserved cheese.
• Put on baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 or until the top has turned a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Brush a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil, then lay the zucchini out in an even layer. Brush zucchini with more oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and broil until golden in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, herbes de Provence or oregano, red-pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons oil and use your fingers to rub oil, garlic and anchovies into the crumbs.
• When zucchini is browned on both sides, turn off broiler and set oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle zucchini with mozzarella, then bread crumb mixture; generously drizzle with oil. Bake until cheese melts and bread crumbs turn golden, about 4 minutes.
• Grind black pepper over top and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Top zucchini with olives, basil and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

SAVORY ZUCCHINI GARLIC ONION DILL BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or butter 3 mini loaf pans (3 1/2 x 6) or 1 standard loaf pan.
• 2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk. (Can sift if you would prefer.) Using a large spoon to this bowl, add zucchini, cheese, onion and dill, coating completely.
• 3. Add wet ingredients (eggs, milk w/vinegar, and melted butter).
• 4. Stir until just blended. Place equally in to prepared pans.
• 5. Bake 3 mini loaves for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with 1/2 of butter garlic powder mixture. Return to oven approximately 5 more minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean and they are golden brown. When done, brush with remaining butter mixture.
• 6. (For a standard size loaf, bake approximately 45 minutes, brush with butter and return for an additional 5 minutes.) I have never used a large pan myself, so watch closely.
