Welcome back to That 1870s Homestead! Today, I'm excited to share a versatile zucchini bread recipe that's perfect for anyone with an active Amish friendship bread starter. This recipe is a delightful way to use fresh zucchini from the garden, and I'll even show you how I incorporate my homemade "mock pineapple" zucchini for a unique twist.

In this video, I walk you through the step-by-step process of making this delicious bread. We start by mixing our wet ingredients: one cup of an active Amish starter, one cup of oil (I use avocado oil), half a cup of milk, three eggs, one cup of sugar, and half a teaspoon of vanilla. For the dry ingredients, you'll need two cups of flour, half a cup of homemade vanilla pudding mix (or one box of store-bought), one and a half teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of baking soda, two teaspoons of cinnamon (I use a tablespoon because I love the extra spice), half a teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, and half a teaspoon of salt.

After combining the wet and dry ingredients, I fold in one cup of shredded zucchini and half a cup of my mock pineapple zucchini, which adds a fantastic flavor and texture to the bread. The batter is then divided between two 8x4 inch baking pans and baked at 325°F for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the bread starts to pull away from the edges.

Once baked, this bread is perfect for sharing, and I often sell slices at our farm stand. This recipe is just one example of the endless possibilities with zucchini bread and Amish friendship bread starter. Thank you for joining me in the kitchen today, and I hope you enjoy baking this versatile and delicious bread as much as I do!

Recipe:
1 cup active Amish friendship bread starter
1 cup oil (avocado oil preferred)
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup homemade vanilla pudding mix (or 1 box store-bought)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
