Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup butter - melted but not scorching hot
  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese - shredded (get the aged, stinky stuff)
  • 3 tablespoon chives - chopped
  • 1.5 cups shredded zucchini - squeezed of excess water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.  Once mixed, add the butter the the buttermilk mixture.  Whisk until fully combined.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture until just combined. Do not over-mix!
  • Mix in the shredded cheese, shredded zucchini and chopped chives.
  • Spray a 9 x 5 bread loaf tin with non-stick cooking spray and bake for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting over a cooling rack to remove from the loaf pan. Allow bread to cool for an additional 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
