# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is impossibly moist without being heavy or dense
  • Its actually the perfect way to use up that giant zucchini you forgot about
02 -
  • Squeezing the excess moisture from your grated zucchini is the absolute difference between bread and pudding
  • Overmixing will make your bread tough and dense, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
03 -
  • Use the large holes on your box grater for perfect texture that is not too fine or too chunky
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a more uniform crumb
