Ingredients
– 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour Forms the base structure of the bread
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley Adds aromatic herbal notes
– 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the bread rise and stay light
– ½ teaspoon baking soda Works with baking powder for lift and texture
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder Brings in a subtle savory flavor
– ½ teaspoon salt Balances the overall taste
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus an additional ¼ cup for topping) Provides tangy richness and a cheesy finish
– ¾ cup grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out) Adds moisture and nutrients for a tender interior
– 1 egg Binds the ingredients together
– ⅓ cup vegetable oil Contributes to the soft, moist crumb
– 2 tablespoons honey Offers a touch of sweetness to enhance flavors
– 1.5 cups beer of choice Infuses maltiness and aids in rising
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: to 350°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan for even baking.
2-Grate the zucchini: and squeeze out excess moisture to keep the loaf from getting soggy.
3-In one bowl, mix the dry ingredients: 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
4-Stir in: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the prepared zucchini into the dry ingredients.
5-In another bowl, whisk together the wet components: 1 egg, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1.5 cups of your chosen beer.
6-Combine the wet and dry mixtures: just until the batter is runny, avoiding over-mixing to maintain a light texture.
7-Pour the batter into the greased pan: and top with the remaining ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese for a golden finish.
8-Bake for 55-70 minutes: until the loaf is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9-Let it cool fully in the pan: before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
